Letter to Bunny, who's just got married and is setting up house in Canada

Gananoque, Ont. Mar 27.
Dear Bunny,

And so it is all over and done. Hope you are very, very happy in your new home and that all went off as merry as a Marriage Ball should go — not a cloud to mar the rosy sunrise of your new venture along your flower-strewn path. True you have had one or two weeds in your path lately, but I am sure some your battle is of the [last]; really and everything is lovely.

Is it all over; the hanging of the crane in the new house—I know, dear child, that in an apartment it is a sort of mental ceremony rather than actual because you do not expect to leave it out there. You have different hopes and ambitions for a home, but in the meantime, I hope you like this one very much and I know you will derive real joy from decking it to your hearts desire

I am glad if you liked the pie and cake servers I hope you did not receive too many of them. But if you did and should feel inclined to change them for something you need more or like better, do so. I would understand, truly. That was rather neat the way we avoided the customs duty, both ways. I rather admired it myself.

I should like to see a press description of the wedding—I hope your mother brings one this summer. We will miss you very much—just knowing you are not there Lewis is more than a little in love with you. He hopes Charles appreciates what a nice girl you are. That is great fear—that men do not appreciate girls—such a quaint notion for a 12 yr old. He is in Windsor with Eleanor for Easter. A deadly calm broods o’er our humble home on Garden Street. [scribble] a ink spot where I had to dip my pen, please forgive.

Aunty sends her love and best wishes for your happiness also myself. Bunny, dear perhaps I shall meet ‘Charles’ this year.

With love,

Anna Jane.
