Muskegon, March 6, 1889

 

Dear Sister,

 

I thought I would write you a few lines to let you know that I am well, hoping these lines will find you and all the folks the same.

 

Mary said you were going to attend examination.  I hope you will have good luck.  I have forgotten when examination was to come off in Ottawa.  Although we received a copy of the Observer after Maggie died, but I have forgotten the date of examination.  Examination will be here 7 of March, which is tomorrow.  Three weeks more after this and I will be home.

 

Is John home yet?  The snow is almost gone down here, but very xxx weather for making sugar.

 

Good by

Martin Golden
