Yours of the 6th. arrived here on the 9th. we are glad to get your interesting letter and that you got our letters to you.

The surprising news is something of a shock to me, I thought that these study-periods that called you away from Deep River, were in the interest of your work at Deep River.

Going to the U.S. well I never dreamt of you going there to live, and I cannot adjust my thinking to the family in this new setting but I guess you have done your own careful planning and I hope it will work out just as you wish.

Of course I do not know what Industral [sic] Hygiene implies I would define it Healthy Industry, and I trust it may be just that.

I can guess however, that it is a good STEP UP for Wilford, and will call for specialized ability to carry it thru, and the salary will also be a substantial step-up, and I trust it will work out for the best you can desire for all the family.

To the young folks it will be a decided change, the schools, the social life, the companionship, the play life, will be all Stars and Stripes instead of the Union Jack.

The Church and Sunday school will be very different in its approach to the things we cherish most, but God is the Divine Centre of all the Kingdoms of the World when they acknowledge him.

The distance between us is increased many many miles by this change, but we can always be in spiritual touch with you no matter where you are.

We wish you the best you can wish for yourselves and that all the family will be happy in the wealthiest country in the world, and your wealth will be rich both out and in.

This is Remembrance Day morning as I finish this letter, we plan to go to the Hall to the Service of Remembrance.

As this leaves us we are well, and we hope you are the same, enclosed you will find your nice word-picture of "The hills along the river". I hope I caught the spirit of the picture in my typing it.

As ever, Father, Mother, and Brother.
