me her marriage with Mr Epps I hope she shall be happy with him. I hope that she has written to you on the subject, it seems that the gentleman is very respected in Quebec by all his friends. the information given to my Uncle by one of Governor Aylmer Aide de Camp are very good. I have written to Papa a few weeks ago and wrote him a very long letter letting him know all what is passed in Paris since my last letter. It is very singular that he has not received any of my letters since my arrival in Paris. I have written twice a year and sometimes more, and still not one of them has reached him I cannot account how this happens. I hope by this time that he have received one he is very uneasy, in every one he has written he complains that I am forgetting him. He may be sure that I never [ms torn] I am writing to him at this moment I hope little Mary is quite well so is her Mother I shall write in a few weeks again. Remember me kindly Mr McKenzie family I wish you a good health and life long

John McLoughlin, Junior, to John Fraser
Dear John
Yours of the 14th June reached me this morning in a thoughtful moment. I was thinking of your good father and mother, I was talking to one of our cousins how happy I should be to see you all once more I had scarcely finished the sentence when the servant brought me your letter containing the unexpected news. It is impossible to give you a discription of what I felt after reading your kind letter I could not forbear from shedding tears. this relieved me very little enough to write you immediately that I partake the grief of the family.[1] It is your poor father that is to be most pitied, he being so old. Do what you can pour les console. I know it is not as easy to do as to say, but at all events you must endeavour to command yourself on such a point I know if I should find them in low spirits I should join
them. I hope this will find you all in good health I shall write
