Dear Father,

I arrived here last night. Am going to start work here Monday with the Northern Crown Bank as teller. I worked in the Saskatoon branch for about ten days as teller. They have a nice building of their own here and a large office. I was out looking for a room this morning saw a lot of them but they are very expensive. Did not see any for less than 12.00 and they were small and some not very clean looking. This is the finest city that I have seen yet in the West with the exception of Winnipeg which is I think the makings of the finest and best in Canada. The streets are very wide and also very clean. I am to get 700 salary which is not enough to keep me in the West. That is I do not think I will stay out here for the money very long as living is more expensive and I think I can get as much as that in the East.  But I will stay this winter and see what comes up in the spring.  I was sorry to have to draw on you for that 25.00 but expect to send it to you very soon now. I am enclosing you two notes signed which you can use if you like and need my money.  Rainsbach will discount them I think if they are for anything like or around 100. Each. That is with your endorsement. Now don't think I want them myself. It is only for you if you need any cash. Now if you use them let me know when they come due and the amount so that I can try and figure to pay them or something on them and send you a renewal.  Now I told Mother I would write to her this time but on account of enclosing these notes I am going to address it to you. You can let her read it and see where I am and what I am doing and also that I am well and do not think it will make any difference who it is addressed to. Mr and Mrs. Newall were very kind to me would not let me leave the house and I have rented a room from them just before I had to leave for 5.00. a month but as I was only there about two days after I made the arrangements they would not take anything for it. I hope you are all well, Edith's cold better. We are having fine weather here. Do not worry any about not hearing from the Ry commission, just keep quiet this winter and in the spring if there is not anything turns up before we can start something together or go to work together. I do not think thy pay very well in this bank although they are a very good institution.  Now I cannot think of any news to write for mw. I will write again next week when I start to work and let you know how I like it here. I suppose Flora is going to school and working hard tell her I will send her a card some of these days. Will stop for this time.

Your son,
