Home, May 18 1909 Darling Helen: The deed arrived yesterday I wish you could see how beautiful your home acres are Everything
thriving blooming The roses, geraniums, Romneya calistemon etc are making a great show. Also the young eucalyptus which are
making a fine growth- the grounds are all clear of weeds. All well here, saw Johnnie Reid's twins Sunday last. Maggie is
kee p? ing well ever since I got her to keep her nose out doors. Wanda's pair are of course above all- anyhow healthy. I'm
anxious to hear from you everyday. Be eternally careful you will yet enjoy fine joyful health. Devotedly your father John
