Dear Uncle,
Father received your letter on the 27th August and was sorry to hear that
you want not well but hope to hear that you are better before long and
that you will be able to make your intended visi to the coast. He also
hopes that his cousin Elizabeth will have her usual health and that Mrs
Morton will soon relieved of her troublesome sore.
Grandmother, Aunt Agnes and her husband, Ddph
Volcar, were at our place a few weeks ago. They were all very well then.
We have not heard from them since.
Father saw mr Pearson the day before he left
for Scotland and requested him to call and see you and tell you that I
have another sister.
We threshed over 300 bushels of fall wheat last week and have oats, peas
and spring wheat to thresh yet. Harvest is nearly through here now.
The Colorado potato bug in very bad here now.
They have eaten the potatoes till there is hardly a green leaf left on
them. Uncle James was
at our place about two months ago. He told us he had received the
likenesses and Tannahill's poem and said he intended to write a letter
directly to you. We
are all in good health. Please write and let us know how you are before
long. When you address letters to us again just put simply
Mr John Good
Motherwell P.O.
Ont. because if you
put Fullarton it will go to another post office.
Father, mother and the rest send their loving
respects to you, Elizabeth and Mrs Morton and the family. We hope that
James Morton will write and tell us his mother's occupation, his
occupation, his sisters and brothers (if any) names, ages, etc. etc.
No more at present but remains
Your affectionate Nephew,
Wm. T. Good
Motherwell P.O.
Ont. Please let Mr
Wm. Drummond know that father is glad to hear that he is well and hope he
will write and let us know how he is, how many of a family his wife has
got, how they are, etc. etc. If Mr Jas. Morton would be so kind as to call
upon Mr Jas. Nimmia Church Officer of the West Relief Church because Mrs
Nimmia is mother's cousin and tell them that grandfather and grandmother
(Taylor) have written several letters to them and received no answer and
that when they do write to send Mr James Binlin's address.
Their Address: Mr Wm Taylo, Sr., St.
Mary's P.O., Ont Mr
John Good
Motherwell P.O.
Ont. |
