Dear Father,
Just a few lines to give you a little of the news. The station was burned to the ground this afternoon ! It started about half past four. Flora went down to see it with Paul. And at six Dr. Skinner took Mother Mrs. S and Flora and myself down in the car. All that is left are the tall chimneys so I guess we shall have a new station at last.
I have been up for breakfast and every morning since I came home. That is quite a record. Don't you think. Monday we had a large washing, got up early and had it all finished and out at a quarter to eleven. And finished the ironing today. We are still busy with the sewing, Marion's school finishes today so she will be home soon. I saw by the paper last night that Isabel McCoy was to be married July 12th. I had a splendid trip home from Montreal and tomorrow 22nd I am going to North Hatley with them. They are also taking Mr. Burbank. Will be back that evening. They are very kind to us. Flora is feeling better since the exams are passed.
Yvonne Villard is coming out next week for a few days. Miss Wilson's barn is not yet finished, Walker is still working. They have the foundation very well along at the Montgomery's. Another Bryant preached last Sunday evening. He was through the General Assembly. I cannot think of any more news so Will close. Hope you are well and that the fly season will soon pass.
We are all well. Write soon.
Flora got your letter With much love, Your affectionate Edith
