Blenheim March 21st
Tuesday Morning
Darling Nina,
Your welcome letter da-
ted Bremo arrived last night [I most?]
[truly do?] thank God you are safe.
You have indeed passed through ter-
rible times, but I trust it is now
over. The same mail brought me
a letter from Mother. She has had, if
possible, a worse time than you
have and both she and Father have
lost some of their clothes, but are
at home and safe. I would send you her
letter but she said she expected
she would have an opportunity
of writing to you in a few days so
I suppose you have heard from her
and her letter was dated the 12th. I will
send it to Uncle Fred. I still feel
anxious about you all, particularly
[Page 2]
darling Mother. I am so much
afraid she is suffering for the
clothes she has lost as they were
those she was wearing as they [were?]
those she was wearing and from
the excitement. You too I fear are
suffering from the excitement and anx-
iety to get to Norwood. You must be
as contented as you can and make
yourself as agreeable as you can. I
know it is very hard to be off among
strangers that way, and those you feel
you have no claim upon that way,
too, but perhaps it is God's way of
providing for you a comfortable
home for next year if you make
a good impression there now. I
saw an advertisement in the
paper a short time ago from J.B.
McPhail, Keysville, Charlotte Co.
for a teacher for the rest of this
year, but he required music, so I
did not send it to you. Since then
[Mag's?] Father Mr. Harris met Mr McP
on the [cars?] and told him of me, he express
[Page 3]
ed a great desire to engage me for
next year and gave Mr. H his address
and asked him to send it to me and ask
me to write to him upon the sub-
ject, which I did immediately, telling
him, however that I did not teach
music or french. I have not yet
received an answer and can't tell un-
til then then whether it could be
made available for you.
