My dear Mother<\/p>\n
I was in hopes of receiving a letter this mail but none has come. I sent you a cheque for 100\/-Rs (\u00a310)\u00a0 couple of months ago, I trust you have received it all right. Since I heard from you I have had a letter from my Aunt in which she gives me a fine description of the improvements that are going on in Auld Reekie (Editors Note: Edinburgh). I trust this finds you in good health as I am happy to say it leaves me.<\/p>\n
I enclose a carte<\/span> of Jamie taken the morning he left for school. By George, I saw snow for the first time since I left home. When I was uphill, it was snowing – it done my eyes and heart good I assure you.<\/p>\n I am very busy just now in the Press. I have a moment I can call my own and it is the close of our official year which gives me more work -as I have to close all my accounts for the year. With fond love to self and regards to all enquiring friends<\/p>\n I am dear Mother<\/p>\n your affectionate Son<\/p>\n J Johnston<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My dear Mother I was in hopes of receiving a letter this mail but none has come.

\nThere is nothing new stirring here – the weather has been nice and cool but it is getting warm again and we may look out for being roasted.<\/p>\n
