Letter from Jennie McCarthy
A letter from her mother, Jennie McCarthy, to Doris McCarthy, wishing her a happy 39th birthday while she is on a painting trip to the Gaspe. 1 Mrs. G. A. McCarthy 81 Kildonan Drive Toronto 13 Thursday, July 7th, 1949. Dear Doris, This is your birthday and I am remembering the joy and pain your happy arrival brought your dear father and myself. This occurs a long time ago - so much has happened since - well 39 years is a long time half a life time of a good long life. I thought of sending you a wire yesterday but refrained because I was afraid it might startle you and again not reaching Gaspe. I thought perhaps it might mean a messenger to you with the message and that is an added expense. I tell you this so you will know large folds, corners curled, dirt

A letter from her mother, Jennie McCarthy, to Doris McCarthy, wishing her a happy 39th birthday while she is on a painting trip to the Gaspe. 2 I was thinking of you. I hope you are spending a very happy day. I had your card this morning written Monday night and you sound so happy in the Gaspe surroundings. I hope you have nice weather that will help to make your stay more enjoyable - Our extreme bad weather broke yesterday and was I ever happy. I don’t think I could have stood it much longer. Its effects my breathing old bones cannot take it. There were several deaths among the aged from exhaustion. Everybody I know is away. Shirly left Monday last for Coopers Falls to be gone 2 weeks she has cousins there and they were coming to Toronto and wanted her to go home with them so off she went. Mrs M Lees is up at her cottage for a month. Then in August Beth and her husband and of course the babe have rented her cottage for August - The Jenkings plan to get away Saturday for Dibgy N.S. but as usual they did not make it. Some landslides on their property so they have to wait upon the someone Council – another delay - Ruth is getting impatient because she is tired and needs the rest. She admits it won’t be restful with her father along and would have preferred to have gone somewhere alone with her canoe. But as she says as long as she has her parents her own wishes must step aside for theirs and he is keen to go to Nova Scotia and the Sea. Douglas only got the jeep Tuesday. He was disappointed but the garage man said you told him you were going away and would not need it so he put it to one side and it was only when they phoned to know when it would be ready that he woke up and made the repairs. Now that it is cooler large folds, corners curled, dirt
