August 27th"""""""" """"""""""""" """"""""Cannington
Manor Assiniboia N.W.T. My
Dear Namesake I received your
kind letter July 27th. Very pleased to hear from you. I wondered what ever had
become of you. I thought surely you had gone home & was married & had a
home of your own to fix up which occupied all your time." Well, I am very pleased to hear you have been
home for William's sake & to see the dear old spot - Dulas Docks. How I
should like to see it once more in its peaceful hours we once enjoyed. I just
think of it - for I do every day. Certainly I would not have expected you to
write whilst you were at home. You had far more important duties to attend to -
but I think it was very naughty of you to go off with another young man to the
sports. Just think of William's feelings. Well, Martha I am sorry you have to
work so hard. I have to work a great deal harder this summer than last. Of
course Mrs. Humphreys was not here last summer and that makes a great
difference. She is never happy unless surrounded by visitors." There is very often people to luncheon, tea
or dinner - not forgetting the dances. There were about 70 people here to a
dance in July. They look like a lot of fools coming to be fed. I quite agree
with you on the service question. I am tired of it myself and will quit it
before long. I never was quite done up until this summer. The eldest daughter
& myself is spring cleaning. Colour washed all the house, upstairs &
down and painted all the woodwork. It had never been done before. There's 13
rooms upstairs and 11 rooms down beside a very large landing and hall. I really
worked myself out till I was quite weak. Of course I had the heavy part of it.
Mrs Humphreys bought a bottle of Scott Emulsion and gave me. I am thankful to
say I am alright again now - only much thinner than I used to be but none the
worse for that." Dear Martha, I have not
been to the World's Fair, nor am I going. It's more than a thousand miles from
here. There's no one I know going there. I have not seen Johnnie yet. He is
nearer here now than he was. He is near his cousin Will, who I told you married
Mrs. Kinsey in Hay's sister & they live a long way from here. I do hope to
see Johnnie before very long." Just think
- I have never seen any one I know since leaving Hay. Everything and everybody
round here is got so stale. I never go out with anyone, I feel such a modest
young woman. I have a Singer sewing machine. Such a nice one which is very
useful. Must close with kind love to you. Kind regards from Johnnie. Please
remember me to William. Goodbye
" write soon""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Martha
