Title: Letter to Angus McKay from James McKay:
Institution: Univesity Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Letter reading "If you can get a horse for me write to me as soon as possible - St. John's Coll. Nov 30th 1879 - My Dear Brother, I write you these few lines to let you know that we are all quite well down here. I have no news to tell you except that the Xmas Examinations are very close at hand. They are to commence on Friday the 5th [?] shall leave on Friday the 17th Joe and I are going to spend our Holidays at Mrs Inksters. I want you to do me a favor and that is to try and get me a nice riding Horse. I think you could easily get one from Papa. I do not like to ask him myself as perhaps he will not send me one. I would be very very glad if you could send me one, if possible something like your [?]. I could easily keep him down at Inksters as Willie said he will keep one for me if I got him. I could enjoy the Holidays a great deal better if I had a horse as long as he would be fit for riding. But the chief reason for my asking you to sent me a horse is this - Mr Matheson has been talking of taking a trip out to Saskatchewan next summer Holidays. He was telling that he would be very glad to see the country out there that we could easily go out if we had two horses. So that if you could possibly send one one I would be very much obliged. If you do not get one I would like it if you would kind send [?] in early spring where the traders come in. If you cannot get one from Papa ask Gilbert to send me one. Of course there is no need of my describing the kind of horse I would like, as you know I like to ride a good frisky one. If I do not go out to Saskatchewan next summer Holidays, I think I could go out far as Qu'Appelle to see Henry, that is if I had a horse, as I could easily go out with the Macdonalds. Hoping that will succeed and sending you and Kate and all the little ones best wishes love I am your aff Brother James - P.S. Please excuse the writing [?] as I am in a hurry. I shall write you by next mail."

Description: Letter reading "Lesser Slave Lake 5th Jany 1882 - My dear Angus, Today I have taken a holiday and have been letter writing to all our school fellows on a subject which I know will be favorably considered by some. I have been thinking about our old Bishop + Head, Master of St. John's College and have come to the conclusion that if we the old St. John's Boys could manage to make him some kind of suitable present it would be the correct thing for us to do, as a slight token of our regard and esteem. I am sure the Bishop would receive such a gift, as one of the most valuable, that he ever received. Don't you think that by appointing some one, say S.P. Matheson whose position was central, so to speak we could manage to[crossed out] to whom we would address all our subscriptions and wishes as to what form the testimonial should take, the affair could be managed more easily. Mr. Matheson I am sure would enter heartily into the idea and be ready to do what is required. I hope you will consider this and write to me what you think and also write to all the boys in your line of correspondence. A Happy New Year to you and many of them. I wrote a long letter to you on the 21st last and have no more just now. I Remain Yours faithfully, Albert Tate"

Description: Letter reading "St. John's College Jany 29th/82 - Dear Angus, Here I am again back to the College, we came back on Monday and are once more in full swing with our studies. I received your last letter yesterday morning and was happy to find that the studs pleased you and that you had safely received them. I suppose you will be prepared to hear that there has been another marriage among the Inksters [?] that of William to Miss Maggie Tait, a niece of Robert Tait of St. James', the event took place this Holidays, sometime about the 19th of Jan. We had an excellent time in the way of dancing &c. Will is now out in Braut[?] on his own Farm which is about 35 miles from Winnipeg. I suppose you have not yet heard that Duncan Christie is dead, the poor fellow died about the 3rd of this month, he was as you may have heard down in Aiken[?] where Rorie Ballentyne is. Mr Laue[?] of St. James' who also went to the south for his health and returned about two weeks ago, died yesterday at one o'clock. The old gentleman had been sick for a long time. Colin Inkster's baby, a little boy born about three weeks ago, also died last Sunday, Colin has been very unfortunate with his children, this being the fifth he has lost. I received another letter from Albert Gale yesterday, I see he is still in the Hudson Bay and is doing well. He also writes that Harriet has had a little girl and that she and the baby are doing splendidly, that she intends to bring Walter and Willie to school this coming summer. You are always accusing me of writing short letters so I better stop now or I'll be writing a long one. I am yrs affectionately, James"

Title: Letter to Angus McKay from William Kennedy:

Description: Letter reading "Octr 14th 1879 - My dear old Angus, I hope that you will forgive me for not sending you the razors before now, but I really could not help it I had to wait till Donaldson got his new stock of goods out as they had not got any razors when I first went there and I could not get them anywhere else. I hope you will be pleased with them. They were about the best that they had. They cost $5.00. I will get you a strap for them if you wish. Write by next mail and tell me if you wish for one, and I will get it. I enjoyed my trip immensely coming back. The day that we left Carlton we went 102 miles - 10 miles on this side of Humboldt. We caught [?] Brass up 4 miles on this side of South Branch and I rode on horseback all day from there. I tell you I was pretty tried, and rather sore in my posterior extremities in the evening. However next morning I jumped on horseback again and we arrived at Touchwood Hills that night. We met Jockey in the morning soon after we left camp, along with his carts. From Touchwood Hills, Mr. McDonald went to Qu'Appelle with Joe, and [?] and I went straight on to wait for him at Pheasant Creek we slept one night without a tent, in the midst of a thunderstorm, and we got pretty well soaked. However next day we went on and just arrived at Pheasant Plain about two hours before Mr. McDonald. We got to Ellice on the Fifth day after leaving Carlton From Ellice I came down with Matthew Cook to the Portage. I had any acct. of shooting on this side of Ellice. I never saw the ducks so thick before and one afternoon killed no less than thirty-seven and that was just as I was going along the road too - From the Portage I came to Winnipeg by steamer and walked home from there, having been sixteen days on the road and having been absent exactly seven weeks Those were the pleasantest holidays I think I ever spent and I often wish that they would come back again. I am sure you must have been delighted to see Rorie this fall - He got back last Sunday night I have not seen him yet though I suppose you saw Mowat, as he was going up to Edmonton How was he at all? Taylor and Stewart had a great old time of it I expect. Mr. Clarke was here last week some time. I think he is now down to Canada to see Larry. I just got back in time to see Larry before he went only two days before his departure - How are the Taylors getting on at Carlton? And now Angus, as I have no more news I will close. Mary thanks for your kindess to me last summer. Your very affect-ate friend, Wm. Kennedy"

Title: Letter to Angus McKay from William Kennedy:
Institution: Univesity Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Letter reading "April 5th 81 - My dearest old chum, As work is utterly out of the question for me to night I thought that I might profitably employ myself for the remainder of the night by writing to all my old friends whose old and treasured epistles I have just been perusing over and over again for the last hour or so - And finding that all of you without exception express in each of your letters the pleasure that you ever derive from receiving a letter from an old school mate. I thought that I could not possibly do better than write you all a few lines in turn although after having read through your old letter I feel that I justly deserve to be [?] by one and all of you for my neglect and laziness in not writing to all of you more frequently than I have done in the past and although I might plead a heavy pressure of work as my excuse for not writing you [?] I do not think such and excuse would exculpate me in the least bit. Now please do not be disgusted at this dry and hard style of writing old fellow. You remember we are told somewhere in scripture if I mistake not, that out of the fullness of the heart proceed the words of man, or something to that effect. Well just so it is with me All the old letters which I have been reading, coming as they do, from all parts of the world you may say - from yourself at Carlton, from Mowat at Edmonton, from Larry at Toronto, from Rorie in South Carolina, from San Francisco and from Machray at Cambridge, and all of them teeming as they do with warm and kindly sentiments as well as those from old "Scout" in British Columbia have made my manly though tender heart full ever to overflowing. When I had finished the perusal and the re-perusal of them all the first thing that I said to myself was "by jove, I'll write to dear old Angus". Well enough of this - call it by whatever name you please. I must be getting on to the real gist and substance of this epistle, or you will at length be saing "Aut insanit homs, aut versus facit" - Have you forgotten your Latin? And first of all I must tell you that in accordance with your instructions to your brother James, which be delivered to me, with respect to the collar for your dog of famous name and fame I racked thoroughly the poetical departments of my brain and by [?] perseverance, mingled at the same time with talent for poetical composition to acclaim degree, I managed to turn out some couplets which I thought to be extremely suitable for a Doz collar, and which I handed over to James for inspection and I desired him to select one of them but alas! His criticism proved too severe for my verses - they were all repudiated - and all deemed equally unsuitable for the Collar of so distinguished a day as "Suabs or Nibs". From that time the poetical and our within me has completely died out, it having been, I thin previously exhausted by my two [?] "to the moon" of which you may probably have heard. But while [?] on this subject I must thank you for the high compliment you paid me in selecting me to write the verses I would [?] I had been more worthy of the high honour paid me! Jimmie is see is your frequent correspondent and from him I suppose you get all the current news at this place, so I will refrain from wearying you with a rehash of the same old story. To a fellow who is staying all along at this place, there does not appear any change though perhaps to an old boy like you (pardon me you are a man now) a very great change might be visible, were you to revisit the scenes of your boyhood once more. There is always the same routine day after day without any intermission at which one is apt to repine, at any rate I often do I know; I sometimes long for change. I suppose I do not fully realize that a persons school-days are really the happiest days of this life, although even now I look back with [?] pleasure on the days when you and I were in the noble old 5th form together, the prestige of which we managed to keep up wonderfully well. We have a Debating Society formed, in which we all take a very great interest. We have one or two very good speakers especially one a Mr [?] whom you possibly may have seen last summer out there as he was coming in from the North - he takes rank as a speaker with Mr McKenzie who used to take a leading part with Debates of our old society...."

Description: Letter reading " Lesser Slave Lake May 30th/81 - Angus my dearest friend; - In the very first place let me introduce the bearer of this rubbish - Mr Joseph Sinclair, late postmaster of Stony Creek, New Caledonia, British Columbia - H.B. Company now about to Paddle his own Canoe and going to Manitoba and with him is John McDonald, brother of our mutual friend old School of St John's. Lord bless the place. Well old pal, you see I am still in the land of the living but by gos that is about all I can say, as I am growing most damnably sick of everything about here now, but no growl out of me, I can stand it, simply because there is no remedy. Fish, fish, yes and dry fish, at that, no tea, coffee etc or anything else for the last two months, just ask Sinclair how we have been living all winter and whether he now regrets the fine savory taste of dry D'ories God damn the dry D'ories. Of course you know that Mr Traill is coming here and will be my boss, well I suppose he does now know what an arse-hole of a place his coming to, the only thing Slave Lake is good for is fucking and shooting and that is pretty good. Sinclair will tell you about my hunt and shooting this spring. You will hear from Sinclair all about old Scout and if you want to hear good stories about the rough times across the mountain in the time of the mines, Sinclair is the boy to tell them and I never heard a fellow tell such smutty stories as he does he cal hell stories from feeling pulses and ankles right up to screwing big grey males. Mr Young will be going from here in a boat right to Lac La Biche and Mr Traill will come up the same way. I will be all alone here now till Mr Traill arrives which will be about the middle of July. And in the meantime I live on the sweepings of our fish house and drink fish juice for tea. You said in your last letter that I had forgotten Jimmy but I assure you I have not, as I have written to him twice now and have never received a return. James Bird is the only one who has wrote to me and McLennan. By jingo, Angus it makes me sad when I think of the past only 3 or 4 years ago and yet how long ago it seems since we all were together in happy old St. John's College School, we have left it, and other have taken our place, and then it goes on without us. Happy Jimmy, McLennan and Kennedy who remain there still. God bless the old place. I often fancy to myself the time in the future when you and I shall go see our old sons, at old S.J.C. then I happy Angus were shall be prosperous happy family men. Stobart, Eden & Co are going further north they are now going to establish trading posts along the Peace River from [?] to Fort Vermillion. Mr Mitchell has been off there already for over a month. Stobart, Eden & Co. I think have too many [?] on [?] and I will be very much surprised if they don't come out from the wrong end of the [?]. This year, that is as far as their fur trade goes around here, they just got little or nothing this winter. You must excuse me for not enclosing this note in an envelope for by gosh envelopes are numbered among the things that were here and even this paper I had to tear out of an old blotter. Enclosed you will find a tobacco pouch, peculiar to Slave Lake, whether it is made of skinned negro's balls, or stretched dry snatch, or a dry d'ory it remains for you to guess. Sinclair (who gave me) to tell you. Well Angus I am sure I must horrify you by my smut, so I must not say anything bad now. When you see Gilbert next please tell him that he has my best wishes + congratulations and that he and his young bride may live happy and I hope the - the - the (you know what) is good. Gosh, there I am talking smut again - ka-catch. Well my old friend, I really have nothing more to write about or rather too much and I don't know what to write about after all so I must close my scribbling and with sincere wishes for your welfare I sign myself Your true and faithful friend and old schoolfellow Albert Tate - I hope we will meet sometime in the future, never mind how distant A.T. - Angus Mackay [ie McKay] Esq.

Description: Letter reading "Winnipeg, September 15th, 1891 - Dear Sir, As you are aware, the Graduates and Old Boys of St. John's College took upon themselves in the Autumn of 1889, the task of raising $5000 in five years towards reducing the debt. The response to this, although heartily made, has been fluctuation. Now, however, anew opportunity has arisen whereby more material benefit can be secured, but on the other hand a more vigorous and sustained effort must be made. Two of the Missionary Societies of England have promised the sum of $7200 towards St. John's on condition of the Church in Manitoba raising $7300 before December, 1892. The shortness of the time emphasizes the urgency of duty incumbent upon each Graduate and Old Boy who has sent in his name to the Five Years' Fund should remit, either as large a sum as he can, forthwith, which will be applied by the Treasurer in payment of the total amount promised for the five years, of the amount of his annual subscription as regularly and as early as possible. To Graduates and Old Boys who have not as yet seen their way to contribute, the Committee would point out the advantage to their Alma Mater which must accrue from this increase of funds, and would ask them to contribute the amount requisite to obtain the grant from the Societies, either by promising and subscription for five years, or by an immediate subscription in lieu thereof. It is necessary for the Committee to recall to any Old Boy the memory of St. John's or to insist upon her claims to his affection and ready help, but they would suggest the father familiar, yet in this case most applicable saying, "Bis dat qui cito dat". - S.P.

Description: Letter reading "John M. Mcdonnell, Barrister, &c. Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnipeg, June 22 1882 - My dear Angus, Nothing ever gave me greater surprise in my life, than your nice long friendly letter which I found awaiting me at the old Coll: where I still contrive to hang out, although I am studying to be a "liar" in Winnipeg here. It is good for sore eyes (as is commonly said) to behold once more your well known characters. By George! I was just commencing to think that you had long ago forgotten me, however I am delighted in the extreme, to find that such is not the case, and I may say that the delight and joy that I felt at receiving your letter was simply indescribable. Well I am very much afraid that I cannot suitably reply to such a nice long letter as yours as alas! My stock of [?] is very limited indeed, so if I don't give you satisfaction, you must make ample allowance for one. I have now been at the Law for nearly a year - 11 months more nearly; so that you see I have had a pretty good opportunity of getting an insight into legal affairs. Last summer, as you are aware, I had the great distinction of having the appendage "B.A." added of affixed to my previous signature, so that I have only to serve another year under articles to admitted as a full fledged Barrister of this Prov: It is [?] any serious intention to go out to Prince Albert to join myself to the legal fraternity in that "Eden of the North West" as it is so frequently designated when I hope I may have the distinguished honour of counting you amongst my clients and I may say that my desire to do so is greatly inflamed by the glowing accounts both yourself and Jockey give me of the settlement. I want to try to get out there as early as possible so that I may not be made to give place to newcomers. Your brother Jimmie is also going to study for the law - He is going to Baird and Blanchard's office the best in the City - He has lately distinguished himself in a remarkable degree, thereby reflecting very great credit on both himself and his noble old institution of St. John's and I may say that brilliant as all his former achievements were, his last fairly eclipses them all and sheds a most dazzling light and luster on his expansive brown, and skill (which by the way is very closely shaven - the result of a very severe attack of [?] which took place a few weeks before his Exam:) I consider that his [?] the Governor Generals silver medal was an [?] in his remarkable career, the men [?] of which will be handed down to the very latest posterity. And I am sure that wherever the numerous progeny of the "rale auld" McKay stock may take up their habitation his praises will be sung in a style worthy that renowned a sturdy race, whose proud boast is that she also has you amongst her sons. He competitors for the prize were all able men - very able - which only renders his distinction the greater. [?] Machray also received the Gov Genls bronze medal which is given to the best candidate at the Prev Exam: You may imagine the magnitude of his success when I tell you that amongst his competitors was the Rev. A.E. Cowley who is one of the Examiners of the [?] [?] [?] Phil: in fact old St John's took the lead this year all through all her studends did very well indeed which fact I know will delight you. Larrie has also lately obtained his degree as the [?] : of Toronto, he is also council with Bain and Blanchard's office shortly. His Rev [?] Flett has arrived - arrived last Saturday I was surprised rather to see him so [?] and to my taste he looks very uncanonical. Pinkham who was married two months ago took a trip down to New York and Montreal - is expected back to night - he has done deuced well for himself marrying the daughter of a man who is as rich as the devil, and can quite afford to bestow on her a dowry of $10,000 or $20,000. No doubt A.G.P.[?] will have a say in the exact amount. I suppose you will be the next one we will hear about getting a better half - wish you joy old boy if you do take yourself a blooming bride - I heard you were awfully spooney on Miss Clarke when she was at Carlton. She is a [?] just now. I will again undertake to look after your interests on that quarter if you like - and look after them too most assiduously. I was doing remarkably well in that [?] in the other quarter when I commenced to find out that my own interests were taking a first consideration whilst yours were only obtaining a second, so I quite the task in utter disgust. How ever I'll try and do better this time. John Hector has returned from Alaska, quite recently where he was employed in some fur coy'. He does not seem to have altered very much, although he has grown very tall. No more news once cannot gather up a surplus of it you Know in a law office Your old friend Wm T.B. Kennedy. P.S.[?] is shortly leaving for the Cumberland Mission - He feels father glum at leaving St John's more especially as his affections are set upon something in that Parish "Old Tom's" daughter I am very much afraid old Mae has his eyes fixed on [?] - Old Tom sold out for $90,000 - O [?] for [?] scribe, et melius scrib[?] [?] W.L.B.K."

Description: Letter reading "Winnipeg, 31st December, 1889. Dear Sir: You are doubtless aware that St. John's College and School have been seriously fettered for some time past by their heavy debt. This debt was incurred by the endeavor to maintain suitable buildings, and to secure efficient teaching. The Graduates and Old Boys have set before themselves the task of raising $5,000 within the next five years, towards the reduction of this debt. Several of them have already provided sums ranging from $5 to $25 annually, to be paid before the thirty-first day of July in each year; but to secure the desired amount it is necessary for every Old Boy to contribute something. Will you, for the sake of the old school and college, join in this effort? Kindly send your name and the amount of your annual subscription, or sign, fill in and return the enclosed form to the Rev. Canon Matheson, St. John's College, Winnipeg. We are, Yours truly, S.P. Matheson, W.A. Burman, A.E. Cowlye, J.W.B. Page, D.J. Goggin, J. McBeth, T. Norquay, J.H. Black, J.A. Machray"

Institution: University Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Letter reading "Nov 24th 1878 - Dear Angus: I received your most welcome and kind letter a few days ago. I was very happy to see that you had not altogether forgotten us. You must excuse this short letter, as I have nothing to tell you. There is no appearance of winter yet down here. The river is still open and will not freeze very likely for some time yet. He had skating about two or three weeks ago when the River first froze up but it has since entirely melted. We are pretty close to examinations once more, they will be easy for me this time and I hope I shall pass well in some subjects. We are doing the work for the [?] Examination in case some of the boys from our [?] want to enter the University. Laurie, Rorie and the rest of the University students are having easy times as they have no rules and can do almost whatever they like, they only have a few rules, which are nothing compared with our rules. You can tell Gilbert that I have no time to write to him this time. Hoping that this short letter will reach you in good health. I Remain your Affectionate Brother James"

Description: Letter reading "Seven Oaks July 22nd /79 - My Dear Angus, I write you these few likes to let you know how we have been since we left you. We enjoyed the trip down the River very well, but not so the Lake as we were sea-sick a good part of the time. We arrived here on the 16th of July and have been staying here ever since I went up to St. James' on Saturday with Willie and came down on Monday evening[?]. I saw Herbert he is about as [?] Daniel and a great deal stouter. [?] has also grown a great deal, he is as as tall as I but far stouter and also as fat as a hog. Laurie is staying at the College, he is studying under the Bishop Prefontaine himself for the [?] of the University. I believe James Flett will very likely go out to Prince Albert as a School-master this fall. There was a Robbery committed over at Mr Wm Inksters the night before we came however the thief did not get anything except a gold ring. He was caught a few days after by [?] Power. His [?] is Edward Daniels from St. Andrew's. I need not say anything more about him as you shall see a full acct of him in the Free Press. I hope you have not forgotten to send the gun etc. I left to Hugh McBeth with [?] [?] [?] [?]. Please write to me as soon as you can and do not forget to tell me if you sent the gun or not. I must now close my letter as I don't feel very well. Please remember me to Kate and the little ones, and tell Katie that I [?] have note taken back I don't feel well at present. Hoping that this letter will reach you all in good health. I am yr aff Brother James"

Institution: University Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Letter reading "May 23rd 1880, My dear old Angus, I suppose you have, bu this time [?] forgotten that there is any such person as N. T.B.K. in existence, and no wonder. I however have not yet forgotten that there is such a distinguished personage as Angus McKay Esq. still living to honor Carlton House with his presence as this letter proves. I have often wondered during the past year which of us was the worse. The year, commencing August 1st 1879, began with strong protestations on both sides, that a good and continued correspondence should ensue between myself and thee, most noble Angus. Time has shown how these good resolves have been kept. I write a letter and send off to you by mail a set of razors, about the middle of September 1879. I get the answer to my letter and receipt for the razors about the 2nd of January 1880. Then I write an answer to you immediately thereupon, but I leave it unfinished in my mothers desk which she sends away to you in its unfinished state: and at that point all correspondence drops. Don't you that this is a truthful statement of the facts of the case? Well then who do you think is the more at fault? We'll say that we are about six of one and half a dozen of the other, and then we quit. Will that satisfy you? I guess we both consider letter-writing a horrid nuisance, and that lies at the bottom of the whole affair. But at any rate you ought to let a fellow know how you are getting along once in a while at least. Perhaps it's because you think that you have no news to tell me of. That doesn't matter. You have a knack of inventing news as it were, and you always make your letters enjoyable to read owing to that ever-flowing fountain of whit and humor which you possess. So then you must write sometimes (indefinite) and I will do the same. Don't abstain from writing because you hate corresponding with religious persons. I am not a "parson" yet and till then, I give you open freedom of speech. Well old fellow I suppose you would very much like to know what I am doing with myself now-a-days: whether I am still the same indolent and stupid old Kennedy you knew in days of yore. Well I am not quite so lazy as I used to be - although certainly I don't rise till eight o'clock in the morning. I am working at Classics and Mathematics. I intend going up for Honors in both subjects. Don't you wish me joy and success? Next summer I am going up for the Final Exams for B.A. MacLennan or as we fondly style him Micawher - is going in for Classics your brother Jimmie and Alfred and Davie are going up for the Previous Exam in a weeks time I fully expect that Jimmie will be the Bronze Medalist of the University this year. I had a letter from "Scout" a few weeks ago, in which he says he should very much like to come back here again, enter the Univ. and study Mathematics, although he says he has forgotten nearly all the maths that he once knew. I'll bet you thought if Scout were to come back again, he would do credit to this old institution in the shape of maths. By jove I think you ought to write to him Angus. He is at Fraser's Lake, New Caledonia, B. Columbia. He is in charge of two posts in that district. He tells me that he lives alone at the post at Fraser's Lake in a large house with no other occupant but himself, and that there is no one there who can talk English to him. He says that he is lonely, but that the has any account of hunting to compensate for his loneliness. If you do write put the above address on the envelope and write via Quesuelle and send the letter down to Winnipeg. I say a few weeks ago I had a letter from your noble brother Gilbert, which he closes by telling me that "his wife joins him in kind regards" or something to that effect. Is he really married? and if so who is it to? He ends a letter to McLennan in something the same manner, and from that I infer that he is married. But he may be only joking. Your epistle of last winter made me at our time suspect that your worthy bro was my 2nd cousin-in-law and that you therefore were a little closer connected to us than by this tie of forty-fifth of fiftieth cousinship; but I afterward reflected upon your quizzical and jovial disposition, and I therefore reject the [?]. You will be surprised to hear that the Rev. [?] Pinkham is to be married on the 24th of next month, and also that Prof. Bourue M.A.; A.I.M.; C.E.; D.L.S; T.C.D. and the devil knows what else besides, has already dabbled in matrimony. And now I must close, as it is getting late. Be sure and write soon, like a good fellow as I am dying to hear from you. Give my love to Mr and Mrs Taylor and all her family, and Believe me Ever your faithful friend, Wm. T.B. Kennedy"
