216 ONTARIO 



CI.ARKSON, ONT., Jan. 8, 1913. 



In .mswtr to your letter of tin- joth Dec. 1 beg to sa\ that I am doing 

 well, and am very glad that I K-i'i Fngland and came to Canada I have 

 money saved now than I -a\ol all my life before I have a good place 

 and have received the kindest <f treatment from my employer and his family. 

 Judging frni my own experience tin- workingman in Canada gets better 

 treatment, better WtgCS, and has infinitely better prospects for the future than 

 In- ha* in England, assuming that he is not afraid of work. The climate so 



. ery pleasant neither too hot nor too cold. I have no li 

 n rocomnu-nding English farm laborers to come to Canada, confident 

 that if they do so they will never regret it.

I have your letter, which I was very pleased to receive. I am also very 



d to tell you that I have found a very good home and a good master, 



and up to the present I am getting along wonderfully well. I have had good 



health, and I must just say that this country is ahead of England both in 



work and money, and if a man has a grain of sense he can get on well here 



that is if he will work. If I continue as well as I am doing now I intend to 



vith Mr. Leslie a few years, and then 1 shall have a few dollars and 



will be able to get along very well, and hope when I do leave him that he 



will get a real good man, as I am sure he knows how to treat men well. 



I have a good house, milk, firewood and plenty of other little conn 

 My wife also likes it here and would not go back to England for all the world. 

 We often wish we had come out three or four years earlier. Farming is 

 much easier here and the horses do the work, not the men. I hope that 

 good working people will keep on making their way out here, as I think they 

 could not do a better thing.

In answer to your letter as to how we are getting on in Ontario. I am 



glad to say I like the country very well, and am getting along splendidly. 



I have enjoyed good health until a short time ago, when I was kicked by a 



ami had three of my ribs broken. From an agricultural standpoint, 



Ontario is a wonderful country for growing all kinds ,,f fruit and grain. 



I think the prospect- are better here than in England for the workingman. 



My wife alone tarns more money weekly here than I got in the Old Country. 



and we wish we had come out years ago. We find the distance to the school 



the worst part, as the children have to walk two miles and the roads are 



bad. I think the schools should be a little nearer to each other. I have 



imended Ontario to all my friends, and we expect that some of them 



will come out in the spring. I thank you for assisting me to conn 



think I shall have a much better chance to make a home for myself and the 



prospects are much better for the children.
