"McLean, Assa., Feb 16th
Dear Sir - Iam now going to tell a little of my experience since I cam to the North-West. I arrived in Qu'Appelle on April 2nd two years ago. I was met by a gentleman, who took me to the hotel, where I had breakfast and dinner. Mr. Wass came for me in the sliegh. We had ten miles to drive home; it seemed a long way. Most of the houses are built of logs and plastered inside and out. They can be very comfortable and warm, although they don't look as good as the houses in England. Soon after I came we had a snow storm. The next day I went with Mr. Wass to a neighbour's a half a mile away. I had to come home by myself. I came all right until I came to a slough in fron of the house, and instead of going around it I went right through it. I was in snow and water up to my knees, and it was a pretty cold morning, but luckily, I was near the house and got into dry clothes. I was very careful where I went after that. The first week or two I did not do much but learn to cut wood and have a good look around the farm until herding started. My work in the summer is to herd the cows (about nine head), and I cut wood. I take a book or something to read with me when I am herding. I pick wild fruit and take it home and get a little pocket money, which I save until I go to town. I sometimes go to picnics in the summer. In the winter we go out visiting, and I have been to two Christmas trees, and enjoyed myself. I always get my share of presents. My work in the winter is to help water and look after the cattle, and milk one cow, and help a little in the house, and cut wood for two stoves. I generally go to the English Church when I can. It is about three miles from our place. When I don't go, I spend my Sundays reading; also evenings when I have done my work. I like this country fine. I think it is a good place to get along; a boy has a better chance here than in England. I get along nicely with Mr. Wass. I like my place. I hope I shall be able to work on the land next year. I might stay after longer than my five years. I think I would like to be a farmer when I get older. We had a very good crop last year - about 2,100 bushels of grain altogether. We would have had more if the frost had kept off a little longer. i don't think there is any fear of anybody starving in this country if they like to work.. the winters are rather cold, but I don't seem to feel the cold as much this winter as last. i have good warm clothes, and when it is extra cold I don't do much outside. The Spring will soon be here now, and then the farmers will be busy again. I think that will be all I can think to tell now. I remain, yours truly, NATHANIEL BAKER
