Box 12-624 TO MARY BAKER MCQUESTEN from her daughter Hilda McQuesten
Jun 1 1910
To: Mary Baker McQuesten 'Whitehern' Hamilton, Ontario
From: Gravenhurst, [Ontario]

Dearest Mother,

Have just rec.'d your letter with order enclosed, many thanks, I will settle all bills. It has been pretty cool but Ruby is not suffering and is feeling pretty well to-day, only of course she has to remain under cover. The medicine seems to be helping her & it is warmer to-night.

Mr. Powis and Mr. Myler were over this afternoon. Mr. P. a fearful tea granny, but then poor chap, he says he never gets a good cup over at M. I just started to-night on the second pound of tea. If you can manage my small hat, bring it as one needs to have a small hat to tie down up here. The ladies journal has come, many thanks. With loads of love to you all, five weeks to-morrow since I came up it seems like months.

H.B. McQuesten [Hilda]
