[No envelope. No heading. Elizabeth Dickey Evans, who transcribed these letters, placed this one after the postcard dated Nov. 23, 1899 and before the letter dated Dec. 15, 1899. Date has been assigned to preserve the sequence. Written while Janet was attending Pictou Academy.]
Dear Janet
Annie is writing she washed your clothes and ironed them since 9 this morning. I hope you will mend your drawers. Mr. Ross & Willie Murray officiated in the barn last evening & we have a new calf. W.M. came up early this morn and milked both cows. Kind, was he not? Mrs. Dunn is to be buried to-day. Your clothes will be well flavoured with kitchen perfumes, for we dried them over the stove.
I think it is hardly worth while to bother with Amy’s hat, yet a-while till she has to go somewhere, the Island perhaps.
[Note at bottom of page:] Perhaps these clothes are not dry.
