Well I’ve been to church and back The soldiers were there there is about seventy or eighty they look fine. Well I guess I’ll get my dinner now and write more after.

Well a whole week’s gone by and I couldn’t find the letter. Perce hasn’t got his suit yet but I think he’ll get it to-morrow. mother and father are going to Bermuda and we can go where we like. I think I’ll go to MacKay’s for the first week and then to Walaces for the rest of the time I have been asked every place but I do not know where to go.
Well I havent any more news to tell you but perhaps I will when I come back from sunday school and if I haven’t I’ll say good-bye.
??? ? might have more news. Well I haven’t any more news so I guess I had better wring off for now. I am your sister Ethel Taylor M
