Dear Mother:
I have just got back home from preaching in Toronto. I left this morning at 5:50 and got back about 6:30 to-night in time for Bonnie to go to Church, where she and the older children still are. I am baby-nurse to-night, and little Florence is so glad to see her father back home after being away all day that she wants me to hold her all of the time, which makes it rather difficult for me to get down to regular letter-writing. I got up at 4 o’clock this morning in order to get my bath, shave, eat breakfast and fix the fires for the day before leaving on the radial. It was a cold and frosty morning, but bright and bracing as I walked to the carline this morning. But it clouded up through the day and the sun shone only intermittently, and at times we had some fierce snowsqualls making the ground white in a jiffy. We have had it cold for the last three or four days, and although I had my garden plowed on Saturday during a snow flurry, it will probably be some days before I get around to serious planting. I had a small turn-out in Toronto to-day, the congregation having probably exhausted itself by turning out in force on Palm Sunday and Easter. But I had $11 clear when I returned home to-night, which will help me tide over till pay-day around the first of May. Next

Sunday I am to be at Bridgeport again and am to hold communion there on that day. I think I will take Carolus along to play “The Literature” for me, as the organist regularly calls it. This week we will begin regular work again in the Seminary. We had only the Juniors this last week, which made our work rather light; but now we will have to get down to it in good earnest for a short while again. However, I am expecting to attend a meeting of the Senate of the University of Western Ontario at London on Friday, and I have also finished my work in the College School for the year except for one examination to be held this week. Arthur stood second in his form and was only 2/10 of a point behind the first. He would have gone way ahead if he had not fallen so low on art. He is no drawer and comes by that naturally both on his paternal and maternal sides. The Board of Governors is to meet on the 28th of this month, and I am in hopes that they will give me some relief in a financial way by rewarding me for the extra work I am doing in taking up Dr. Zinck’s work. I should also have more remuneration as Bursar for the institution. Fortunately I have had a lot of preaching to do and have made more that $100 since the first of Jan’y. But I must close at this point. With love to you all and best wishes, I am
Most Sincerely yours,
