Dear Mother,

You have had Flora's letter by now so know that we arrived safely with our trunk and are now settled in our little flat.  Marion W came up this morning - had a splendid trip and looking fine. Henry gave her a new suit and hat. Ethel was in this afternoon so she can tell you all about our place of abode.  I only saw her for about two hours and then we were shopping. She is looking so well and had a pretty new grey suit and a becoming hat.  My throat is better, but I did suffer from it for a few days.  Marion and Marion W went up to the Shaw's last night.
They were quite nice and took over the telephone so we have that off our hands.  Tell Mr. And Mrs. McMillan to call and see us. We are in most days after four. Some of us anyway. Tell him  I was sorry to miss those Methodist jokes. And if he hears any others to keep them stored for me.

What a house we left behind us. I suppose you are working all the time trying to get things staightened out. We are going to try and hear Mrs. Snowden, but she is not a militant for which I am sorry.

Sunday.

Saturday morning Marion and I went down to the St. Antoine market and I had my first real marketing experience. We got along nicely. Got strawberries, potatoes, roast of beef, grapefruit. Pineapples. Fruit is selling quite reasonable.
