 below : • 



" I must again assure you of jay entire satisfaction with all Wisconsin 

 you have done for him." 



C. F. T., February, 1883 : 



" I get up at five in the morning, and, as a rule, go to bed at Iowa 



about eight. The work, of course, is hard to one at first, but I 

 shall soon get over that ; the food I get here is excellent, far from 

 what I expected, and my bed is just as good as I had at home. 

 I have now been here long enough to know that every young f f How 

 who comes over here, and has made up his mind to work, can get 

 on, but he must equal himself with every one. I am afraid I have 

 no more to say, except I must thank you for having placed me in 

 such a comfortable home."

 ingly. He is very happy, and speaks of Mr. and Mrs. in the 



highest terms.

 mined to learn the work, and become a first-class farmer."

 engagement with a farmer for his second year on improved 

 terms ; dated 9th April, 1883 : 



" Thanks for your letter received yesterday telling me of the Wisconsin 



engagement made by my son with Mr. E . I had heard from 



bim that it was likely to be. He writes cheerfully, likes his work, 

 and speaks very highly of the kindness and attention of your agent.
