Captain U., their father, writes, June 2nd, 1884: 



Iowa. " ^y sons both seem quite happy and contented, and -write in 



excellent spirits. They like Mr. W and the family very 



much." 



E. A. writes from Iowa, May 3rd, 1884, to ourselves : 



Iowa. " ^ write to tell you of my safe arrival upon the farm you 



chose for me. I have been here for a month, and am well 

 satisfied. I do not think I could have done better. . . . We 

 have got in almost all our seeds, so that almost all the hardest 



work will be over this week till hay harvest. Mr. B and 



family are very kind. ... I found your agents all that could 

 be desired; no hitch throughout." 



L. R. writes, May 3rd, 1884 : 



Tasmania. " ^^^ ^^ ^^ glad, no doubt, to heat that I found Mr. D 



the nicest man I ever had to deal with ; farmers of this district 



also say he is most practical. If it is agreeable to Mr. D , 



you will kindly sign the agreement and finish with him." 



J. B. writes, June, 1884, from Iowa to our agent : 



lo-^a. " I have been at Mr. W ^s for nearly four weeks, and I am 



certain if I tried I could not find a better home in America. They 

 treat me as if I was one of their own family, and I am as happy 

 as can be. I like the work, and I am delighted. I came out here 

 to learn farming." 



W. G. S. writes, 15th July, 1884, in Wisconsin : 



Wisconsin " I am so pleased to be able to inform you that I am here 



permanently, at least for a year, and so you will not have any 

 more trouble with me. Both parties are mutually satisfied, and 

 from my part one cannot speak too highly of them. I would like 

 to know if there are any arrangements to be made — I mean, any- 

 thing to be signed or fixed in any way." 



A. L. W. writes, August 10th, 1884, from Yirginia : 



Virginia. " On the 27th of May I arrived here, when the Indian corn 



was hardly a foot high ; now a good deal of it is over fifteen feet.
