Editions in which letters appeared

Hayle Mail Nov. 5, 1914

I'm afraid my letter this week will be rather short, and at the same time somewhat uninteresting from a business point of view. Things are rather dull and it seems as though the present winter will see little or no change here in America. Instead of the usual unexampled prosperity we see disorder and chaos. the only man over here who is getting a fair return from his labour is the farmer, everybody else are complaining of hardship and disappointments, nevertheless we must look forward to the time a brighter and better day when men shall live for reason and not alone for gold. But as long as we shall see strife and conflict prevailing, so indeed shall we see misery and poverty. They are synonymous for they go hand in hand.

On Saturday we had a meeting of the New York Cornish Association. A large number of members and friends participating in what proved to be a very enjoyable evening. Not a dull moment throughout the evening. Everything went off in apple pie order, the programme was carried out in fine Cornish style. I don't know when I enjoyed such a pleasant evening.

We had pleasure in initiating Dr. E. V. Brendon of Liskeard, Mr C. Northey, of Truro and Mr Steneford of Falmouth. We finished up partaking of ice cream and cake and then the evening was brought to a close by singing the National Anthem. We are looking forward to many more such pleasant gatherings as we had last Saturday night. The Cornish Association has so far been a brilliant success.
