there is a luncheon party outside Victoria a garden
party at Government House plus a dinner party
& Vancouver may be a bit hectic too, but I hope
to be able to write from there. Johnnie is staying
up at the Hambers farm and will avoid the dust &
the heat of Vancouver station thereby.
If Aunt Margie would send me off the coat marked
"not to be forwarded" to Government House Ottawa I
would be very glad.

The flowers on Vancouver Island are utterly marvellous.
Like ours only larger more scented more brilliant.
I am so sorry to hear of Kate's death and the old link
snapped, yet I am sure it must have been a penance her
life I mean. I am thankful that you won't have any more
of those wearing journeys to Putney. Would Miss Essex
send a line to the Putney dairy asking them to send me
in the bill? The regular cook would know the address.

Your lovingest Susie.
