Sunday PM

Dear Norman,

Your letter with enclosed photo of my old chum received was very glad to see you looking so well and comfortable you see very stylish with curtains on your windows. I suppose that is for the flies. I am glad you are having an easy time. Your letters are not long on the way so makes it better for us all. I must tell you now lest I forget it that you made a mistake in reading my last letter. I said or meant to say that Bella got Sarah Ewing, Anthony's sister, to take care of old Mr. Hill, not that other Sarah, that I think so very little of.

Marion is not here yet. She wrote that she would be with us Monday at 7 PM. Miss McCoy's wedding is the 12 of July so I hope she won't think of going to it.  Mr. Beiber had quite a bad accident with the auto on the 22nd. Mrs. Beiber's brother was here about 11 o'clock in the morning. They started for Windsor Mr. Beiben running the carr. John Harkensen sitting in front with him in the back Miss Beiber. Mr Henry and the three children coming home, He was running fast as usual, he struck the sand. There was something wrong with the steering gear they say, however, the car turned over, some were thrown out, but Mrs. Beiber and Marjory were pinned under. Marjory crawled out when they lifted the car but Mrs. Beiber was unconscious for some time. They brought her back in an express wagon and had the doctor waiting at the house when they got her she has no bones broken only badly bruised about the chest side and back.  She is in bed I think for a good while, I was in to see her last night . She does not complain. Is so thankful that she or some of the others were not killed all the others escaped without any injury. Mr. Henry is still here. The car was sent to Danville by express the next morning, badly wrecked.  Mrs. Beiber told me he would not listen to any one about his fast running but she think he has had a lesson that will have effect on him.  He makes light of the accident, says Mrs. Beiber will be out in a couple of days. I have my doubts.

Later 26th.Edith went to Lake Arill Saturday afternoon with the Skinners. They were going to take Marion had she been here also. Took Miss Sparrow they returned this morning at 10 o'clock. Had the time of their lives. Stayed one night at Lake Arrill. Last night in Sherbrooke. Lake Arrill is four miles from Morton Mills. The Montgomerys took Flora and me for a little run around the town Sunday evening. Dr. Villard's daughter came this morning to make Edith a visit. Will stay until Saturday. Dr. Skinner met her at the train with the auto. They certainly have been very kind to us. Edith is with them all the time. When __ comes she will have to let her go. I have not heard from Herb since the one I enclosed to you.

I will write you again in a few days. We had a call from Mrs Coff of Portland today, that is Jessie McNaughton, I took her over to see Grandma. Then down to McCinsts. She is having tea with the Alex McLeary at Keenan's Hotel.

I mailed the times and record. I have not been down to Moffatt's since you left. Mr. Moffatt was up. I have not seen the Dr. To speak to. People think he has lost all he invested with White.

I got notice of  Flora's school fees.

I am keeping the other things straight only have not paid Mc Rae's bill since you left. It is not much. Have you had any indigestion since you left. I hope you are careful. Marion has just arrived. With much love

Your wife Margaret.
