 Letter from David MacDonald to Mary and Tom Thomson dated April 29, 1912. Address written from: Easter Kerrowgair, Dalcross.
 "Dear Sister and Brother, We received your kind letter the other day and was glad to hear that you got another young son and that they are both getting on well. The family is fairly growing. Tom will be quite proud of his sons. He will be a Canadian, this one. He would be born about the same day as poor Father died on the 13th. He suffered a lot the last few days he had in this world. Uncle Kenny [MacDonald] was east about half an hour before he died. We was very pleased to have him with us. He helped us a lot with seeing about the grave and other things. Father was buried in Kirkhill beside his father and mother. We had a hearse and brake out of Inverness that drove west all the way. It was a long drive but we got a very good day. Our uncle the Policeman [he was a step-uncle; Donald MacDonald, the policeman, was the son of Finlay who was James' step-brother] was at the funeral. He got shifted from Beauly to Kin[g?]ussie. He was very kind to us too. We just walked about half a mile from the house and there was a few that met us at Bogroy about a mile from the burying ground so we walked to the church yard. Mother and all the rest is keeping quite well. We had father insured so that helped us on a bit. We got 16 pounds. We might have got more but Mother went a bit wrong in the age she gave them so there was a few pounds kept off. Father was sixty-five years of age. Aunty Maggie [MacKenzie Paterson] was out with us for about a week. Now I think that is all the news just now. Hoping Mary and the baby is up and well and all the rest. Yours affectionately, Brother David."
