August 9, 1912

Went out for a drive with Hugh

and on our way home called at

Aunt Anna's and got my suit

case.  Got home in time for

dinner.  At three o'clock Bessie

told me she had written Jen to

come over so we went down where

the train came in.  She looked

well and I was so glad to see

her.

(Note: Bessie was a Chisholm; the Chisholms were closest neighbors to the MacGillivrays)

August 8, 1912

Got up early.  Had breakfast which

I enjoyed very much after my

fast.  Left for home by the Sydney

express.  Enjoyed the trip from

Halifax to Eureka very much.  Uncle

Joe met us and we had dinner

in Millstream.  After dinner Aunt

Anna, Rachel and I called on

Mrs. John Campbell (Wilma Grant).

She was newly married and I had arrived at one of her receiving

days.  Wilma was dressed in her

wedding dress and looked very

nice.  Jessie May, Margaret and 

Mrs. Fraser were receiving with her.

We went from there to Mrs. Chisholms.

Aunt Anna and Rachel went

home but I stayed with Bessie.

(Note:  Aunt Anna [Grant] was the sister of Isaac MacGillivray, Georgie's father.  Uncle Joe was her husband.)

August 7, 1912

Was dreadfully sea sick all day

never got out of my cabin.  Was

disgusted with myself as the sea

was quite calm.  Reached Halifax

about six o'clock in the evening.  It

took all my energy to get up and 

dress.  Took a carriage from the 

wharf to the King Edward Hotel.  Had

a very nice room.  Had hoped to make 

a few calls and see a little of the

town but felt so wretched that I

went to bed at once.

(Note:  first opened in 1903, check out  History of the King Edward Hotel )

August 6, 1912

Aunt Sade and I were busy

all the morning and at noon

we left Boston on the SS Perry

 for Halifax.  The afternoon was

beautifully fine.  Miss M. C. Fraser

(a cousin of Jims) from New York was

on board and I enjoyed talking to

her very much.  The sunset was

beautiful on the water.

(Note:  Have just learned it was probably the SS A. W. Perry......)

August 5, 1912

Went into Boston early and

spent the whole day shopping.

Finished packing my trunk and

suit case and went to bed tired

out.

August 4, 1912...

Was awfully tired so did not go

to church.  In the evening

Victoria Cameron and I went 

up to see Gilvary and A. D. Fraser.

August 3, 1912....

Left Wellesley Saturday evening. 

Got to Boston at eight o'clock and

 went out to Roxbury and stayed 

with Aunt Sade for two days.

(Note: Aunt Sade was the sister of Isaac MacGillivray, Georgie's father, and daughter of the Rev. Angus MacGillivray)
