Fort Simpson, B.C. Oct. 9th 1875 My dear Mother, I have only time to write a few lines but Thomas says never to let an opportunity pass without writing. It is near twelve Saturday night - & the mail goes early Monday. Jessie has been in bed a long, long time. She is still well and good and happy as a lark - God keep her so. The work is near stopped on the church but Thomas wants to go to work on the house now. The carpenter goes away by this str. - so does the teacher so the school will be left for somebody. We have most of our winter supplies in. We received by this str. from friends a box of preserves, a box of pears & apples & a brl. of apples. The last time a lot of plums came, I have over thirty jars put away - besides some rhubarb & a little raspberry that was sent before. We have apples also and a great quantity of cranberries. I have chocolate on hand to take when I need it & also isinglass. I do very well - we are getting vegetables now from the Fort. I suppose by this time you are quite settled in Toronto. I do hope you are comfortable. Now do take things & make them just as easy as you can. I hope you have a good girl. We expect another str. this fall when I will try to write more fully. Our love to you both. Yours affectionately Emma
