wKicli you have carried out all you undertook to do for my boy, 

 and wishing you success with other* clients/' etc. 



Minnesota Mrs. H., alluded to above, who has sent oat two sons to 

 Wisconsin and Minnesota, writes, April 12th, 1883 : 



"Wisconsin " Johnny wrot^ that he had written to his brother to ask if 

 there was an opening for him in Minnesota, and what Jim was 

 going to do. Jim wrote to me a short time ago and said he should 

 get $20 a month, for he was able to do all sorts of work and was 

 as strong as the run of men. He liked the farm work, so had 

 declined the offer of a place in a store. Johnny has always spoken 



in the highest terms of Major M 's kindness when he had seen 



him, and also that he has frequently received newspapers from him, 

 which is an exceeding great kindness. It is an inestimable boon 

 that some one will care for the young lads in a strange land." 



S. M., 10th May, 1883 : 



Minnesota " I have to thank you for the good selection of farmers you 



have made for me and B . I am very happy here indeed, and 



like the work and my new life very much. Mr. G is very kind 



to me and we get on very well together." 



Professor M. (father of above), May 14th, 1884: 



" You may rely on my being at all times ready to do what little I 

 can by way of showing my sense of your kindness to my two boys.*' 



J. C. G. writes, May llth, 1883 : 



Wisconsin **1 find that with Mr. W. W I am very comfortable, and 



that he and his wife are very kind and do all they can to make 

 me feel as much at home as possible. Indeed I don't think I could 

 be more comfortably placed. I should certainly like now to com- 

 plete the arrangements for my stay with him (Mr. AY ■ ) for the 

 twelve months. I find the work seems to suit me very well, and I 

 may say I like the life very much." 



"W. G., his brother, writes : 



'•"lagree with the above as applies to Mr. W. J. W." (the 

 brother of Mr. W. W.), " with whom I am placed." 



H. J. writes from Nebraska, June, 1883 : 



Nebraska. " Just a line to say I am very pleased mth the farm Mr. H 



has selected for me. I think it is the best for some miles, Mr. and 

 Mrs. B. being particularly kind, making me as comfortable as I 



could wish. I often see Mr. H ^ who is very kind in arranging 



and seeing to things I require. I am not at ail sorry I came out 

 h«re."
