I go twice to church with Mi\ P , the farmer. The people 



about here are very kind indeed ; I have been to two or three 

 parties already, as they seem to like the company of a youug fellow 

 from the old country. I am awfully glad I brought the gun out, 

 as we have splendid shooting — hares, rabbits, wild duck, parrots, 

 opossums," etc., etc. 



H. C. writes, x^pril 25th, 1884, from Iowa to our 

 agents : 



" I am quite satisfied to stay the year with Mr. B . They Iowa. 



are very nice, kind people ; I am getting on very well with them. 

 I plough and harrow, etc. I like it very much." 



Mr. B., the farmer in this case, writes, April 25th, to 

 our agents : 



"1 send you the contract signed as requested. Harry does 

 well ; is unaccustomed to work, but is learning, and tries to learn. 

 This is all we can reasonably ask. He is very well contented, I 

 think." 



J. T. writes from Iowa, April 29th, 1884, to our agents : 



" T arrived here on the l7th of March, 1884, and as long as I Iowa, 

 have been here I have been very kindly treated, and have received 

 proper instruction about fanning, etc., and the family are very 

 kind to me." 



J. M. U. and F. U., two brothers, write from Iowa, 

 May 2nd, 1884 : 



" We write to express our satisfaction as to the farm on which Iowa. 



you have placed us. Mr. W and family are all you said they 



were, and do everything in their power to make us at home and 

 comfortable. Of complaints we can make none, and feel certain 



that as long as we remain with Mr. W we shall be happy, a.nd 



willing to do all we can to please him. Mr. W takes the 



greatest pains in teaching and showing us everything. The 

 country is charming, and both of us can at present boast of not 

 having had the slightest ailments, and we feel capable of doing 

 far more than we ever calculated upon. The neighbours we find 

 kind and hospitable, and willing to do anything for any one. "We 

 can only conclude by thanking you for getting us such a comfort- 

 able home, and plaoiixg us wilih such a g^ood and painstaking; man 

 M Mr. W :*
