To W. O. From M. C. MacDonald. 9th. Jan, 17. Dear Sir William, Now the General is back in office we have taken a new lease of life--and fully realize what a debt of gratitude is owing you in this respect. Your attitude in the matter marked our admiration four fold. I trust you are now quite recovered from the flu to which I understand you fell victim. With warmest wishes to Lady Osler and yourself and do look in on us once more from time to time. Faithfully yours, Margaret C. MacDonald. Miss Bankes is in Canada on leave expect her back by 1st of Feb. My rt. bower now is Sister Forbes--such a capable and charming girl--perhaps you know her Sister F. McKenzie Forbes. M. C. M.
