Letter reading "Bain, Blanchard & Mulock, Barristers, Attorneys, &c., Winnipeg, Manitoba. John F. Bain, W. Redford Mulock, E. Howard Murphy, Sedley Blanchard, Eugene D. Carey, W.E. Perdue. Winnipeg 29th Sept 1883 - My dear Brother, I was surprised to hear that you had been in Winnipeg during my absence, I was out to Shoal River with Henry, when starting I went away with the hope of returning in two weeks, but the two weeks soon passed away and increased to size. We had very bad luck indeed, as we could not at all travel on account of head wind. I find out from Richard [?] that you enjoyed your short stay in the City and in short "took in the city" I hope I will be at home the next time you come in, which I supposed will be pretty soon. Dick also told me that you had left an overcoat with some Jews for the purpose of being cleaned if I can find out where it is, I shall try to get it. I heard from Albert Gale on my return, he appears to be quite contented with his vacation and expects to burn out a millionaire someday, when his "coal oil" and "Timber [?]" are worked up. As you have been in Winnipeg so recently I have nothing more to say except that things are just as they were when you left being [?] quiet Hoping that you are all well [?] yr affe Bro James"
