My Darling Boy:-- I will write again this evening as I may not have a chance tomorrow. How I would love to spend an hour alone with you now and just revel in those luxurious affections. I hardly feel like myself up here alone, it just seems like a part of me is lacking. The convention is just getting better and better. It is quite cool here and it snows almost all the time. My cold does not get well but I am still doctoring it and hope it will soon be all right. We got dinner and supper near here and just go out home at night as we can get more rest in that way. Today at noon we took a long walk down by the lake. I thought of the last time I saw Lake Erie.
I feel like I have learned a great many things about missions since I came here. Yesterday I thought I was fully convinced that it would be better for us to have more preparation before going to the field, but I feel today like just leaving it with God. I sent your father, Alva, & Ida papers containing account of Con. and Mr. Hendrickson insisted on sending it to you so I gave him permission.
Some of the people talk of staying until afternoon Mon. but I think I will come in the morning.
The old O.N.U. students are going to have a reunion tomorrow. I have met Mr. Snook and many others. Geo. Hanson is here from university in Mich.
Take good care of my boy and pray for me that I may be filled with the Holy Spirit and receive great good from the convention.
Your own true one
Bertha Lambert
