Canadian Pacific On board "Montcalm"
Sept. 8
Honey dear :-
We are on board as you see and I have a letter from you, not yet read, but I want to get this off. The boat seems very pleasant. The trunk has turned up, and we know the packages and suitcases are in the hands of the C.P. I bought some dishes in Liverpool, and time will tell how I get on with the box! It's big and heavy, from packing rather than dishes! I hope you'll like the gloves I bought you and that they'll fit. My own sizes are not constant so I've just guessed for you.
The boat seems big - yet it is scarcely larger than our other, a thousand tons, maybe.
Love to you - I'll mail this now - and hunt our steamer chairs.
The Celtic sails tomorrow with mail so I expect you'll get this sooner than I see you.
It's a bright, cheerful day!
