1893
Nell has another baby, another girl, she is called Grace Lee. I am going to Sudbury to see her and the children soon. It is a long way to go but Pa says the train journey makes it possible now. I am very excited to be going, it will be a holiday for me.

 A Visit to Sudbury, Fall 1893

It was hard to leave Nell and her family. The town of Sudbury is very rough and seems far away from everyone and everything. But Nell is happy and busy. Her practice takes in the town and a large part of the surrounding area. She has traveled to see her patients on an odd railway car called a pumper. You can see the rails beneath you as the men pump it along. It is better than going by canoe with all the portages she says. TJ worries about her health especially now that she is expecting another little stranger.
Calderwood will seem very tame after Sudbury but I have many friends and I like my teaching fine. I am independent and earning a good salary now, but I may look for a new place to board where I can have a larger room and my own stove.

Dear Nell,
I was so sad when you and your family left. Please kiss baby for me every day. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to hold her in my arms.  I am preparing now for the next term. The deep snow has meant my attendance is down but I must prepare lessons anyway and it is good to have some students here or my pay will be lessened and I cannot save as much. You did not seem too impressed by the dentistry idea but I am still thinking about it for next year if I have enough money. I must do my lessons now, 
Love to all, kisses to baby,
Affectionately, 
Jen
