POSTCARD Date: Unposted. Handwritten note on reverse is dated December 9, 1913. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Handwritten note on reverse reads; "Birch River, Dec. 9th/13. Dear Ada, I received your kind & welcome letter a few days ago. I feel ashamed of myself for not writing sooner. No there was nothing in the letter to offend me. I am awfully sorry I kept you waiting so long. I really can't tell, but I don't think it will be possible for me to get home this winter. Times are awful hard out here this winter. I have about five hundred dollars standing out on farmers notes but I am unable to collect them although most of them are due.Of course it is safe enough but they don't seem to be able to get the cash and I hate to sue them for it. I will write you a letter in a day or two. I have been away back in the mountains for about a month and just got back. I had some pretty hard luck. I only got a shot at one moose and then he got away. Well I guess I will say good bye for this time and look for a letter in a day or two. As ever your true friend, - Edwin"

Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: Postcard is on "Classic" early Velox undivided back Private Post Card stock. As best as I can make it out, note on front reads: "Shoal Lake, Man Nov 27/4 Dear E.S. - Papers to bond(?), OK. Have Roosefelt on the wall in the office. Busy as a sailor these days. Hope you are having a good trade this Fall. This shows part of the elevator capacity here. Storage capacity of 165,000 bu (bushels). Also shows our home. Why don't you answer our letters. Bert" The station house is on the right. Given the nature and content of the note, I am assuming that Bert may have been the station master and that he (and his family?) may have resided in the station itself. The two identified elevators are Scott's Elevator and Northern Elevator Co. Ltd.

POSTCARD Date: Posted October 5, 1910 to Lunenburg, ON. Publisher / Photographer: Unidentified Notation: I really liked the look of this early advertising postcard! There is only one postal stamp on the card & it is Ottawa. So, I am wondering if the card was sent from Brandon to Lunenburg via Ottawa - or if it just happened to be a Brandon card that was sent from Ottawa to Lunenburg? The message on the front reads; "Say what is the prise of Eggs & Butter out home[?] be sure & keep thanksgiving to go out home[.] I will be out if nothing happens[.] I won't be able to get back so you come out if you's can. Bye Bye" Anna The message on the reverse reads; "Dear Sister, If you's can spare the potatoes write and let us know when you will send them[.] Say we are getting a couple of barrels apples from out home[.] Say you's can send potatoes with them by freight.[.] How did you get over the flu[?] I haven't got over it yet.
