Please would you send him to
the Belleville Home, as we would then be able to get him, because the
man that my brother is with says he would not object to taking him.
Please would you let me know how much it would take to pay for
sending him to Belleville, and where would I send the money to.
"I am able to plough now, and milk cows, chop wood, reap grain, and
mow hay. I am raising fifty young apple-trees of the Spitenberg kind.
I am going to be a farmer myself some day; it is very nice and
healthy work. I get a good many rides on horseback. I have a lamb of
my own; my master gave it me when it was a small, little lamb, but
now it has grown into a good-sized sheep. The Premier of the Dominion
was at this village, and I heard him speak. We will soon begin to cut
our hay; we have a mowing-machine, so that it does not take long to
cut our hay. There is a Sunday-school three miles away from us, quite
near where my brother lives; it has sixty scholars, and I go to it
every Sunday, but the preaching is only once a fortnight. In our
Sunday-school we sing about the same hymns we used to sing when
in the Refuge, and there is three of us 'Home' boys go to that
Sunday-school.
