1897
I now live in Sudbury with my cousin Nell and her family. I am very happy here. I enjoy doing the books and spending time with the children. Nell is so kind to me and she works so hard. Just today she had to take the train to Naughton and then go overland and by canoe to Whitefish Lake to see how her old friend Mrs. Ross was managing. Mrs. Ross has been very ill but she is getting better now. She had 10 children in the wilds and they often come to visit Nell. The oldest are men now and have left home to work for the Hudson’s Bay Company. I have met one of them several times. He is called Thomas Robert but every one calls him Robert because his father is called Thomas. He is always most courteous to me when he comes for tea. He is tall and strong and always has a gentle smile for me. I think he is handsome.
