| Transcript | [Front of envelope] Mr James A Smyth, Castledamph, Plumbridge, Co Tyrone, Ireland [Stamped] TORONTO ONT MAR 2 11 30PM 1929 POSTAL TERMINAL A [Page 1] 292 Earlscourt Avenue, Toronto March 1st 1929 Dear James, Just a few lines to let you know we are well hoping this will find you all the same, we had a letter from Bella today she was telling us about so many being sick with the Flu it was pretty bad here too. I hope Willie John is getting better as I think by Bella's letter he was the worst. I must thank you very much for sending me the Telegram about my Fathers Death I suppose only for you or Bella I would never heard anything about it. for my sisters I am sure they would not let me know. Bella was telling us in her letter that he left the land to Maggie well I wish her luck that is all I will say. I am sorry now that I stayed there so long. [Page 2] but all the same if I could get a little Farm I would go back again, this place is alright so long as everything goes well but when one gets sick it is not so good. I got hurt at the City Dairy nearly three weeks ago and I tell you that is when you see the difference nobody but strangers to speak to makes one feel worse still. how is Bob Campbell doing I am surprised at him I wrote three letters to him and he never answered one of them. well James I would like you would let me know if there is any Farm aroud [around?] there that might soon be sold I am sure that some of them will soon have to let go, I can think of nothing more now James so I must stop for the present Goodbye with best respects From Andrew Dunn write soon and give us all the latest news Transcribed by Alan Houston |
