| Transcript | 1871: July 14 To Frances Stewart (Bun), Peterborough, Ontario July 14th 1871 My dearest Bun I am afraid you will think I have forgotten your Birthday but indeed I have not. I have been thinking of you very often & wishing I could have you here with me to give you a good [coax] & kiss but all our pleasant times seem gone by. I see no chance of seeing you unless Mamma can come & bring you with her. I don't believe I shall ever see Peterboro again. It seems like it but I can't help that & so dear I must write all my birthday wishes & send all the love I can in a letter which can never carry all I have to send. But I am sorry I have not got any present to send. I could not get into town or get any one to go so I could not get things I wanted & besides I have not got any money yet so I feel rather cross upon it. Still my dear Bun I wish you a great many happy years & returns of your Birthday. I wonder if Mary gives holidays. The other schools I find give 5 weeks which is too long I think. The day after tomorrow the 18th will be poor Fanny Stewarts Birthday. She is far away out of our reach but I am sure she will think of us all & we will think of her. Tell Mama I wrote last week to Aunt Annie & gave her message. And now dear Bun go round & kiss Ma & Betty & the boys all for Grandma & get them all to kiss you in return for your own fondly loving Grandma, F. Stewart |
