"Captain Cameron Canadian Regiment has purchased Bart's farm near the head of the Island for 456 pounds cash.  He intends to take up his residence there soon, and I believe your father and family is to pass this year with him. Stonlia [Stronlia?] arrived here just after your departure.  He is gone on the same farm in Carrieau which Paul occupied and to remain there until he has time to look about him."

"I have had an addition to my family of a little boy since your departure.  I need not give you much news as Mrs. Cameron has frequently written to you.  She and Mrs. McMillan join me in affectionate compliments...".

Arch. McMillan
