Vancouver Commercial Club Vancouver, B.C. Sept. 6th. 17 My dear Mother. I have no D----ed news, but I thought I would just drop you a line to let you know I got up O.K. had quite a comfortable berth on a much crowded boat. It was well Father made the able suggestion to ring up & engage a berth otherwise I would likely have sat up all night, which wouldn't have been exactly pleasant. I expect ere this reaches you Uncle Bill will have left - he enjoyed his visit I'm sure,
