Letters to Aunt Eily.

Mintaro Station, December 26.
Dear Aunt Eily—
The old year is dying out, and the new one fast approaching, but I must not let it pass away without writing to you and wishing you and the orphans “A Happy New Year.” I intended to write before Christmas. Our holidays commenced on December 22. I like school very much, but I am glad the holidays have come. I ride my pony to school, and though I love riding I do not find it at all pleasant on hot days. Our annual examination took place a short time ago, and I obtained my compulsory certificate. I received my badge, and was very pleased to get it. I think it is very pretty. I am sure Rev. Mother finds it very difficult to do that sum you spoke of. Of course, St. Vincent’s Club will do it. Encloesd (sic) please find 5/ for the orphans. With the compliments of the season, from
Your fond niece, Gertrude.
