thank you ever so much for them straw
berries and the blackberries. The black
berries most of them did not live, but the
strawberries are all good, you will have
to be down this way soon for some of the
berries are getting ripe fast. I hope the
children are contented up their they
asked me to send them up some dried iish
.so I made up a small box and sent to
them, I suppose you have no objection
of any one sending them any thing they
wish to eat. We are all well at present
every thing looks lovely in the surround
ing country. . There will be lots of friut
this season. The fishermen are getting
ready to fish, the cannery will soon be in
opperation. If there is any way to get
a small keg of salt salmon up their I
Would like to send to that last lot of
children what you took from here for
they say that theyare hungry for home
fish the fish that theschooljias uptheir
don t agree with them it is not like the
home fish. So all for this time.
From Yours,
Respectfullv friend,
