Warwick Bros. & Rutter card no. 1012S, posted with a Levis & Montreal R.P.O. cancel on September 24, 1906 to Miss Effie White of Coaticook, P.Q.: "I was pleased to read on your last card "Don't forget to answer this." My memory is fine when *such warnings* are given and with pleasure do I yield to *such warnings*. Write once more and then I'll be in Coaticook. C."

Trimmed "Private Post Card" with undivided back, split-ring cancel at Beaver Dale, Assa., April 27, 1905 and a second cancel at Yorkton, Assa. on the same day. Addressed to Mrs Robt. Wilson, 118 Fisguard St., Victoria, B.C.: "Apr. 27/05 Dear folks, Thought I'd send you a picture p.c. We've been having prairie fires raging all around us lately, did not come near our place, but "Jim" got his granary burnt and the boys had hard work to save the stable. John had quite a time fighting fire at his place a while ago, if he had not been there his buildings would have gone up in smoke. "Norman" has been sick, had to take him to the Dr. in Yorkton, but is getting better again. John lost another horse lately; busy seeding very dry but lovely weather. Yours, J. Wilson"
