Dear Mrs. Mackie,

Will you please thank the members of the association in Toronto for their kind wishes and congratulations which I very much appreciated as I appreciate yearly the membership card they send me.

I have not sent an exhibit list for some time. Mounting years and poor health make the seeing to shipping details burdensome but I have had a one man show in the Vancouver Art Gallery for the last four successive years so you see I still work in spite of war and indifferent health.
Again thank you.
Sincerely, Emily Carr
