A letter written to J.C. Bourinot on the 15th of August, 1917 from George A. Andrews of Airichat inquiring and proposing plans to transport the remains of someone (implied to be a Bourniot realative) who has sadly passed, from Mulgrave to Arichat. Arichat N.S. Aug 15, 1917 J. C. Bourinot Esq, M.P.P., Hawkesbury, N.S. Dear Mr Bourinot As you know, the Magdalen is off for repairs at present and we just here the arcadia running here from Mulgrave twice a week. As it would be so much more convenient to have the body come direct by water than around by Grand Anse, your brother was thinking that it might be possible for you to get Cap Walkers to make his trip here whatever evening Charlie and the remains would arrive. Do you think you could arrange it that way? Mr & Mrs Bourinot are both doing very nicely so far but I imagine the worst time for them will be when the body arrives. It is certainly a very sad affair and they have the sympathy of all. With kind regards, faithfully yours, George A. Andrews. P.S. Since writing this, I have had a note from Birt telling me that the body will arrive at Mulgrave on Saturday and that Charlie is not accompanying it- unable to do so- G.A.A
