Vancouver Jess had news
Tuesday, 12 October 1937
Left City Falls (sic) this morning. Nice scenery all the way. Got to Vancouver about 3. Went to Post Office. Got several letters, one from Aunty Bella, telling of the loss of Jess baby [Wep’s wife and Thirza’s daughter in law] – very sorry – got 3 from Bill, 1 from Jack. Got a nice cabin every comfort for 1.75.
Everett a nice town, then Bellingham, a big place. Got to Blaine at 2.30 where we had to pass the customs, over the border to New Westminister, a big bridge being built there 14 miles from the town of Vancouver.
