My dear Sister

I sent you a note when I got up here about three weeks ago. I guess you got it allright. I went to work the next day after I came so I dident have time to write since. Anyway I hope you are all well as it leaves the same at present. I am working here on a farm and going to stay on till the winter comes.

I guess the ploughing will be in full swing in Grimsay by now. We started the Spring work here a few days ago, they cant start here untril the snow goes away. We had rain today the first time I saw rain since last sept. we got a pretty dry winter. Didn't we but I tell you we get it good and cold.

I see D.A. and his mother every Sunday. I wasn't to see them today because it was raining heavy all day I am just three miles from town here.

I guess you will be wondering about my changing places so often but I tell you I had to go to the woods last winter for there was nothing doing round here. Of course I could have stayed there in summer too, but I get more wages on the farm.

How is everything round? I had a letter from Niel MacKillop the other day, I don't know where he got my adress but I was very pleased to hear from him, he told me that Maggie MacKenzie Carinish [?] died What was the matter with her? How is Archie Stewart getting on, is he getting better or worse

Well Mary, you must escuse this hurried note again. Its Sunday and bedtime my next will be longer

Your loving Brother
Ewen Nicholson.

P.S. if you are getting the [?] times, or any other newspaper. I would be more than pleased to get a read of them now and again.
