Just about a couple of hours ago, I sent off the telegram to you. I guess you shall have received it long before this letter.
No, my dear pal, I am all right except for the fact that I have here a nasty cold and my tummy seems a bit out of order. But my friend the doctor here gave me some pills and medicine for both ailments and now I feel as though the recovery is in sight!
The exhibition was the goods! I knew that it was the greatest yearly exhibition is the world, but the realization sure cleaned up the expectation. What a lot to see! Cars, aeroplanes, agricultural halls, art galleries - all the industries were well represented. We watched the three mile race and the excitement of Ross's victory over Pritchard was too much for the crowd! Also listened to some nice music. And didn't we have fun with all the competitions, or, rather, games of skill and chance! And Irene was most lucky. She got two large boxes of chocolate and some smaller ones of caramel. I was singularly unlucky. But I enjoyed myself just as much!
Dear Bennie, I do hope you are not jealous because I was happy with someone else! You know perfectly well that of all my men friends you stand supreme. there are no other fellows that I can love as much as I love you. But with girls it is on a different plane altogether. If you would fall in love and be happy I would be ever so happy for you, although is you got another boy-friend, I would turn sickly olive colour with jealousy! You understand me well, don't you, my dear fellow!?
I received a letter from you mother yesterday and read it in the mine - on the 7th level to be exact! Yes, it does seem to me that since I left Farmington, all sorts of nasty things happened. I am awfully sorry about it: I guess I would be a lucky mascot for Farmington! I bet you are absolutely all in and looking forward to having a rest in New York. Poor Bennie, I would love to be with you to help along, if I could, and if you let me!
My work is getting on splendidly and i have heard through my roommate that the manager, Mr. Sharp, is going to promote me - to the machine work - I should imagine. It is beginning to dawn on my that I like my work very much! It wasn't as difficult to get down to it after the fine time I had in Toronto.
Thank you very much for the papers Bennie. They are always very welcome to me because they contain a lot of such interesting stuff, which I snap up with pleasure.
Well, goodbye Bennie. Give my love to mother and Auntie Lydia.
Your always loving Guigui
