It would appear.that'you are in
what I call "Real Country',' which.
I. love, and not too,far from Lake
Huron, -which I expect as 'soon'
as the Weather conditions permit,
You 'wilM 'be visiting..I imagine' it
it
is almost like: the sea, at ,any rate
as regards size. How f should
'lake to do a little of tile: travelling
you have done, instead of spend-
ing my time in an office ,
The M'ansP does not seem to be
:inconveniently distant from the•

severe weather, far enough; Is it
countryfrom, the Manse to the
church? '
