1) Sunday night Herb (Ed: brother) came over and Kerryman and Jim were there.  He took them all in and the next day telephoned over and asked who that 'Crazy Davis' was, so you see what he thinks of him.  He said K was nice which was a good deal from him, don't you think.

It is about a 5 minute walk from the end of the bridge to the cars. We take the cars at a place called St Etienne and then transfer to the Wellington and that will take us to McGill and then we take the
Windsor and St Lawrence west.
Have not got Herb to go to Mrs. Paterson's yet. I think he wishes that I was at home for I am always at him to go somewhere that he does not want to go.  (Ed: Brother Herb is her reluctant escort.)

Last Sunday morning 7 of the girls from the house went on the mountain and had a fine time, it was such a fine day. We cut through the cemetery. I was the first time I had been there.

2) I suppose you think that it is about time you were again hearing from me. I have had two fine holidays Thursday and Friday and I enjoyed them very much. Friday, Ruth. Molly. Lovell and myself went to the McGill sports. A friend of Ruth's who was taking part in the sports had saved us fine seats right up in the front where we had a fine view. I saw A Brown and Wickware in the distance. They were the bosses.  Yesterday Mr. Gruel of Sherbrooke called and took Ruth and I up to the mountain.  Sat morning I took my first cooking lesson. Dr. Robins is going to give marks for it in the final exams and as I do not have to go out of the house to take them it is very convenient. I went up to the convention Friday morning but did not see either Mr. Honeyman  (Mr. H is a teacher or principal of St Francis College.   or Miss Morrison and was sorry because I wanted to see them so badly… This morning the whole Normal School went up to the art gallery to see the wonderful picture of the King's coronation.  It was really very fine. I don't know what I would have done if I had not that quilt you sent me, it is lovely. I was so sorry I did not see Mr. Honeyman I am beginning to think how nice he was in comparison to the Profs in here and how I wish I was back at St. Francis. Every body hates the Normal, so you see I am not alone in my dislike. Mr. Gruel said that he had never heard anyone who had been there say that they liked it.  Now I can't think of anything more to say just now although as soon as I post it I will remember that I have left out the most important thing I wished to say I think I am getting so old that my memory is beginning to fail me.  This AM I slept so hard that I heard neither the rising bell or the breakfast one so the consequence was that I got no breakfast but I made up for it at dinner for I am bound to get the worth of my money.. It seems as if I was always writing letters and never getting any answers.  Now I will close with love to all,  your loving daughter Marion Annie Nicholson.

3)…. Ruth and I are as cozy as can be in our new room. It is not new but it looks it as we have changed it and got our pictures hung up but we are as cold as icicles.  Miss Forester asked me if you remembered her and then she said that you used to be a sweet girl before you were married and that if I was like you I would be all right.  She is the missionary for the YWCA. About a week ago it came out in one of the city magazines that the YW was a place for paupers and that charity building should not be so handsome and have such a position as opposite the Windsor Hotel; of course the girls were very angry and Zenia Fraser has written an answer to it. It will be in both the herald and the star so you can look for it. I don't know in what number it will be but sometime soon.  Have just called Clare up and had a talk. She too is working hard.. I received your letter and the little books and was glad to get them. Some day soon I am going to see Violet if I can find out where she lives. She doesn't seem to know herself. Says she never goes the same way twice.  Marion A Nicholson.


4) Tuesday. I started to address the envelope Miss M instead of Mrs but will send it just the same, I guess it does not matter.

No doubt you think it is about time for another letter from me. My red dress fits like "de paper to de wall". I have on my coat and hat and am going to Miss Fisher's and Mrs. Lyster's but thought I would write you this so that you would get it Sunday

Last Monday Ruth, Mr. K and I went to the debate between McGill and Queen's. Of course, Queens won and their speakers were really the best but I was too much of a liberal to be on their sides. I will send you the program. 

It was fine.

5 Dr. Robins let us all out early to go to hear Booker Washington. He was great. If I could only see you I could make you laugh for a few minutes at least repeating his jokes.
