41. 1913 The Reason

Venturing into this year I have discovered why he wanted to visit Canada. It wasn't maybe that he was sick of New York and Boston but it was because his younger sister Maud was there.

A family postcard it explains things (thankyou PM)

10th October 1913

Dear ??? Ethel
Just a long while since I wrote to you but I only got your address off Maude.
I can tell you Maude is doing fine. I have been several times to see her and Cools?? such a dear girl. This is my 7th time this way. Excuse more in haste.
Best Wishes to Ivy and yourself

I wish I could know what the 'Cools?' meant? In my mind she had a child in 1913...'such a dear girl!'' or maybe it was some one Maud had been sent to live with ?? The search goes on!
