March 18 ( no year)
To: Mr. T. A. Code, Perth
Dear Mr. Code,
I was very pleased to have your letters in Sat. mail and deem it quite a prize to hold– the documents re: Ennis Estate. I shall draw your attention to one error contained. The *Ennis “Cresh” if there is any.
*(author’s note–Cresh-Historically, surnames evolved as a way to sort people into groups – by occupation, place of origin, clan affiliation, patronage, parentage, adoption, and even physical characteristics (like red hair)
Thank you, my husband W. J. is quite himself to-day. He remains in bed. In fact he had to as his cold affected the head and stomach. He expects to attend Mr. Morris’s funeral to-morrrow.
David was the only child of the first marriage. My mother, Eleanor, was the oldest of the second family.
In order: Eleanor, Sarah, Maggie, John, Esther, Rebecca.
I like your ideas of the family tree, and have been meandering about.
Truly yours,
Mary Rothwell
