Dear Father:
-> •
vesterday raoi nir; before church a .package from
you was delivered, but as it was time for church I could f
not|open it then; and then when I came back there was also
a letter from you; so I feitisweil rememberecf in one day.
Your letterfwas an  unusually long one, and I enjoyed Lt
very much, although I was very sorry to hear you were not
Improving.  In the letter we're enclosed another dot puzzle,
a Trinity bulletin announcing the £olden Jubilee Convention
of the Spworth League, a picture of the trains on exhibition
at the new JJnion Station, and two §$ stamps.  Thank you
veryo much. |These were, the first |:| stamps of the new issue
I had seen.  I see in the bulletin that Trinity is planning
for a symphony orchestra.  Among the list of new members I
noticed the names of|a Mr. and Mrs. Shaw with an address in
the 800 block on Muirfield Road; that made me think of Uncle
George andlAunt Flov. * •
' By this time you have no doubt heard fhat I
have had word from DrrWfasson that my salary lis to be .finer eas
It seems they waited till the annual Board meeting to vote on
it. ?erhaps|l should no| say so, but it hardly seems to me a
matter for the Board to take up at its annual meeting, as the
matter of not|paying me-Sfche regular salary was not acted on
there. However we need say nothing more about it now.  This

the book.     Although
I have not had  time to read  it  ye4:,   I think what  I want  to know
surely w;|i| be  found  in it.  r$?\it  I am afraid  it will make me

available here.
Thank you very much  for the hose.     I was  In need
of  some,   the ones you sent  Christmas being about the only ones
not darned,   fl  guess the quality is not  good ,§ as  those  I  buy
here do not last  long;   so what-fyou  send are  greatly, appreciated.
