W. C. S. writes, May 21st, 1883 : '^ 



" I shall have been here a month by to-morrow, so I write to Ontario, 

 let you know that I am satisfied with the farm on which you have 

 placed me, and that, as far as I am concerned, you may close the 

 agreement with W. F. He will, I believe, v/rite to you to the same 

 effect." 



L. C. S. (brother of W. G. S.) writes, May 24tli, 1883: 



" Having been a month here now, I write, as I promised, to tell Ontario. 

 you how I like this place. I really do not think I could have found 

 a much nicer one if I had had my pick out of all the farms round 

 here, and I am very well satisfied with everything. Both Mr. and 



Mrs. C are very nice and kind people, and I do not think I 



shall regret staying here a year or so, if they will keep me. I have 

 not had very much hard work to do yet, but I am quite ready to 

 work hard when it is needed. If you can put every pupil on to a 

 farm like I am on now they will be pretty sure to get on all right. 

 If they don't, they can't be good for much." 



H. S. L. C. writes, 19th Jane, 1883, to our agent : 



" Having completed my trial month I write to tell you I am Ontario, 

 very weD satisfied with my place, and have every reason to hope I 

 shall be most happy. Kindly make all arrangements with Mr. H. 

 N. for remaining ; and believe me, — Yours sincerely." 



Mr. H. R. N., the farmer to whom the above Mr. H. S. 

 L. C. was attached, writes, June 29th, 1883, to our agent : 



"As Mr, C has now completed his trial month as a farm 



pupil with me, and expressed himself well satisfied to continue for 

 the year, you will please complete arrangements necessary therefor. 



** I am highly pleased with Mr. C in every respect, and find 



him a very pleasant addition to our family circle, as well as an 

 efficient help on the farm. 



" He appears to take quite as much interest in the growth of 

 crops and matters about the farm as I do myself. Hoping to hear 

 from you soon," etc.
