Richmond Sept 5, 1911
Dear Norman,
Yours of the 28th received on the 1st of September. I have been so busy could not get time to write. Marion went in yesterday morning (Monday). Flora went this morning. Marion was going to try and be at the Station when she got there, if not Flora would just go herself- as the girl she was to room with went with her. And Mr. Craik was going, as his son was going to take the teacher's course, and one of the Dresser girls -so she would be all right.
She did not feel lonesome as there were so many together. Only we were pretty tired.
Strange you have had no word about coming home. Dr. Skinner told me that you were to be here the 16th. . He is one of the committee here so heard it. Clayton and I met at Dan's Sunday night, when Marion went to say good by. They were asking when you were coming. He said you would have your trip for nothing. Oh well, I said, he will be here to weep with his friends if they lose. Then I said do you really think Hayes is going to win. He said 'Yes', there are so many Liberals turning Conservative. And I have not heard of one Conservative turning Liberal. I said you will find that there won't be many (who) turn. And Hayes cannot win against Tobin. Of course, the Liberals are using a lot of whisky, and all such talk as that …
Ann Christie and Goldie came up and stayed a day, brought Grand ma and William has not yet called.
This morning, Clayton and Bella Aunt Christie and Goldie started for St. Albans to visit Aunt Woods. They have about run out of places around here. I think they will be here when you come although they say they are not going to stay as long this time. They are all looking well. Dr. Skinner is not going to the west until after the elections. He is busy with the auto taking speakers around the country. Was out in the French Gore yesterday. He very kindly took us to the station this morning.
Flora got your letter said she would write from Mcdonald.
May Watters went with Marion yesterday. She is going to try and board with Marion at Mrs. Ellis's. Edith and I are going out to Kingsbury for a few days for a little change. We may the end of this week.
I told Mr. Rothney that you could not say until you came home. He said he could wait until then all right. I am glad you are feeling better . I have not heard from Herb. In his last letter he said he was to be manager again for a while so that accounts for it, he will be busy. Yours with much love
Margaret
