 "This is our cat. How do you like it. Give Joe and Mrs. Watt's cat my kind regards. How is Helen? did she start for home yet and Tressa how is she?I hope your side is all better. give my love to all the girls. Tell Tress not to forget to put John in mind of my box of chocolates and the Ice cream. Let him get them and send them most mighty quick. Had to wait for three whole minutes at Chatham Junction our train was late and the Maritime on the dot. Wasn't I lucky though. Say Alice aren't you glad we've gone well I guess you ought to be. I was sorry I didn't see Jennie. Give her my love. How is Jack Baxter. Did you go may day that's him Ha Ha.

with love
