Residency 4 Divi D. August 12 1911

Dear Flora,

Your welcome letter of the 5^th received last evening and was pleased to hear form you and to hear of your success in being accepted to Macdonald. I note what you say about the financial part of it. I am writing Marion to  have her let me know how much the whole amt. will be and I will send mother a check to cover the amount. The girl that is to become your roommate is a daughter of O C Shaw's, of Kinsey, I think, mother knows her father as he has been at our place. She is a cousin of the Popes in Melbourne and Richmond and her being at Macdonald will make it nice for you to start with. Marion Watters is fortunate to be able to start in Montreal. I wish I could take the western trip with Henry as you said. Aunt Watters is taking a fine long visit in Boston. Mother tell s me that  Sophia Nicholson is going to Edmonton where her Father and Bros are. Have you seen her yet. I also hear through Mother that the Gymers and  the Curries are coming to Richmond this summer. Have they arrived yet? Now I have nothing new to write about from here. What would interest you. I see by the papers that there is to be an election in the 21^st of September that will make things lively at home for a time, when you write again give me the election news at Richmond.

Now when you write me again let me know if there is anything you need when leaving home. One thing, you are going to a nice place. When you reach St. Anne. I passed it when coming home. Its over the banks of the Ottawa River. See that you do not go boating on the River as it is always dangerous.  Do not be persuaded by any man to go as you read of so many boating accidents from currents and brats. Tell mother that my indigestion is some better and hope you are all well. Will close for this time Love to All

Your loving father, N
