Dear Father
Received your letter last night. I think I am a terrible letter writer for not having written to you before but I am going to try and make up for it now by answering this one quickly.
Thanks very much for money enclosed, it will come in very handy and also the picture of the 'washer man'; don't become too accomplished in that task because when you come home they might want you to practice it here.
I have been accepted at Macdonald College for a model diploma. So my fate is sealed and I am to become a school marm. Marion says she thinks there must be something wrong with them when they have decided to allow me to go there.
Macdonald opens Sept 5th so does Marion's school so we will go in together. I am to room with a girl from Kingsey, Mabel Shaw is her name. Do you know the Shaws from there? Marion Watters knew her last year, said she was very nice. One thing she will know all he ropes having been there last year. In regard to money matters you have to pay a months board in advance, which is 16.00 and two other deposits. Marion is writing a note in the letter and says she will explain about them.
Have not been out to Kingsbury yet but intend to go out there for a few days soon. Marion Watters has been accepted in the Earl Grey School in Montreal. Do you know where that school is? Marion N has written to Mrs. Ellis to see if she can board there. It would be nice if she could. Aunt Christie isn't home yet. She seems to be having a fine time. She is coming home with Annie when she has her holidays.
Henry has decided to go west on a trip too bad you couldn't go with him.
Uncle Clayton and Stanley have gone on a trip to Megantic in their auto. They went for a week but as usual they have stayed two, so Marion and I had to mow the lawn. I suppose you will be surprised to hear that Jim Smith has left Uncle Dan's . He is boarding now at Mrs. Chapman's, the one that kept house for Mrs. Carpenter. I wonder what Sissie will do now? Now I must stop as it is near tea time
Your loving daughter
Flora
