{THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN SYNOD OF NOVA SCOTIA
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT.}
Bridgewater, N.S.,
Sept. 4, 1913.
Dear Mother:
I will write you a few lines to-night as a sort of lick and promise for the next time. I have been so busy this week, looking after matters pertaining to our Wentzel’s Lake Reunion that I have had no time for anything else and am quite tired out to-night. However, by this time to-morrow it will probably all be over. The indications are good for fair weather. In fact we have had it so dry this summer that rain would be something out of the ordinary course of things. The weather is warmer this month than it was in August. In fact the last three days would have been real hot if it had not been for the high winds that prevailed. I have made a trip up to Wentzel’s Lake and Northfield every day this week, engaging and collecting milk, cream, butter, cakes etc. for our Tea and Coffee stand. I think we will have a good supply this year and hope that we will realize $100 from our stand this year instead of $50 as last year.
Dr. T. B. Roth will be our speaker this year. He has been on the ground for a week or so and preached Sunday at Lunenburg and Mahone Bay. I have, however, not met him yet. Pastor Fetterly and his bride “appeared out”
(Page 2)
in the Church at Bridgewater Sunday night. She is a very small woman, smaller yet than Bonnie, and is apparently quite young – not over 20 I should judge. She is rather dark and is quite pretty. I had the pleasure of meeting her Sunday night. Bonnie baked 10 loaves of Bread and Six Jars of Beans for the picnic to-day. Flore Mosher, one of our older girls, came back for a month this morning. I expect to leave here Saturday afternoon for Toledo, O. to attend the General Council Convention. I expect to be away about three weeks. I will join Pastor Mauer at Toronto. Pastor Ganger, who had agreed to supply Rose Bay for the month of Sept. with a view of accepting a call sent a telegram the other day saying he could not come owing to later developments at home. This leaves Rose Bay still vacant and Mahone Bay soon to become so. The latter parish called Pastor Shirly, but as he has been at his present parish only three months, there is scarcely a possibility that he will come. Monday Bonnie and Herman were up at New Germany. I kept Marion and she was as good as she could be all day. Little Lynton is very sick and not likely to recover. They have a trained nurse with him all the time. The doctors seem to think he has tubercular trouble. But I must stop and get bed as I will have to get up early and haven’t had enough sleep for a fortnight.
So good night. With love, Sincerely yours, [signed] Carroll H. Little
