July 1, 1867

Dear Reader,

I married a woman for the second time, Susan Agnes Bernard. We had a beautiful little child together, Margaret Mary Theodora Macdonald.

The agreement of confederation was brought to British Parliament. They passed the British North America Act, and the Dominion of Canada was created. The individual provinces of Quebec and Ontario make up the Province of Canada. I have been asked to form the first government and be this country's first prime minister. I have attached the image of this country's first flag.

Happy Canada to you, let this be a day of celebration, all the hard work of I and many others has finally paid off.

Today I will be knighted and be known from now on as,

Sir John Alexander Macdonald

So long and goodbye, I have a country to run!
