Radnor Forges, Quebec
Dear Mother,
Your letter received, sorry to hear that Flora has been sick and that you both missed the recital. Saw an account of it in the St. John's News. Do you know who wrote the article. It was one of Mrs. Roes' choosing, I should judge. How are Uncle Dan and Grandma. You have not mentioned them, but I supposed that is a good sign. I had a letter from Christina before I got the bowl but will send her a card and thank her. My watch keeps splendid time. I showed it to Mr. Atkinson the other day. He thought it a very good one. Mr. C. took me all around the furnace and works this afternoon and now I think I understand a little about how iron is made. I heard that the people are very much pleased with the way the school is going and seem to think I am quite a success at it. Seems there has always been some trouble with other pupils and teachers. I only hope and pray it may continue. I like the work very much and the children seem to be doing very well. Mr. Gagne asked me to send him a card some time so I did and the other day got a letter from him, said he wanted to tell me about the dance. December the 16th he was out for it and had a fine time but said everyone said it was nothing to the first. I am feeling fine, weigh 137 with my coat off so you see I have not lost any. They say I should never leave Radnor for I always come back looking so tired out and lose all of my red cheeks. You should see the colour I have these days, you would never know me.
Your loving daughter,
Edith S. Nicholson.
