Dear Sir - We were much pleased to have a call on the 3rd inst. from Gibbs Huntly, his son Charles and grandson Jack.  We generally have a budget of news to exchange, concerning our friends down east, and of a number who have - like ourselves - left the old home.  Last Sunday, Arthur Huntly came for the day, and brought his mother for a few days visit.  She has just returned to h er home at royal Oak; we did not lose much time in talking over times, past, present, and future.  Our lives have been quite closely interwoven, and these meetings give us great pleasure.  I came across an old letter the other day written by Aunt Letitia Dickie to father and mother.  I enclose a copy; it tells of an experience they had before they went to California.  My Uncle's home was in the sound end of Bay City and his daughter Ella (Mrs. John Mason) lived at the north end, so they were some miles apart.

Great changes have taken place since then, and except for the names of the streets, one could not tell now where the old home was.  We visited there a short time ago, but there was a feeling of sadness as we thought of the dear ones who used to be so happy there, gone now - and strangers
all around instead.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. N. McKay
