| Dec 9-10, 1960 | Evelyn Henderson | "Things are in a more final stage of finallizing, finally...since last Sunday when I ended the periods of postponements by bringing Father here to the Bush House." "The most urgent job for which I postponed Father's stay when A & B brought him down a week earlier, was the plumbing, and that is barely finished now...." "...Father is quite enamoured with the idea of hot water from the tap directly into the sink for dish washing etc." |
| May 28, 1961 | Alice Cowan | "Several times recently Father has walked all the way to Port Rowan (twice rather), one time having a passing acquaintence phone me up to come and get him, the other time returning with Mrs Gillard who happened to be in town." |

| Aug 28, 1966 | Alice and Evelyn | "Just for the record, JCL is now up over 10 lbs 14 oz, has had another visit to Dr Gerhard, even smiling for him at his greeting, 'Hello Jonathon.' ... But he's still blonde, despite Irene's thinking his hair has a tendency to redness, and on his fourth Church attendance with us today, even the ladies noted his gray blue eyes are like Irene's." |
| July 2, 1997 | Evelyn Henderson |
"Nephew Robert W. (that 'W' stands for 'Watson' not 'Wilford', although our Father, WML, had as little use for Watson as you or I have or had for Wilford)." "... Catherine's children, as far as she was concerned included Betty and Douglas. WWL took his eldest sister and step children to see their biological Grandparents. CEP & WWL both were repelled by their life style and somewhat callous attitude. From then on Catherine considered them her 'own' and raised them completely contemporary to the three brothers born later. The whole family fulfilled their filial duties to Wilford, knowing very well his short comings." |
