Letter reading " Private - Hudson's Bay Company. Cumberland House 2 April 1894 - My Dear Mr McKay, Your letter of 17 March got here three days before the mail - they were certainly a long time on the way! I am surprised that Captain Dunlop does not [?] up - he must surely be close at hand by this time! I long for more and later news! The new priest started for Pelican [?] last week. Mr [?] Crumm and Corporal Connor accompanied him on some Scrip Business. Major Colton certainly made a wonderfully quick trip to La Corne and Prince Albert. I wish he had been able to visit the [?] Indian Reserve when he was here. I guess you'll find the spring late enough. We have had a very large quantity added to the previous enormous pile, since my [?] was here, and there has been no thaw yet, altho' the weather is mild today. I hope the Indian will exert themselves fully this spring in hunting [?], Bear and Beaver. As the Indian often is this spring, calling in the Indians from their hunts to their Reserves in order to [?]! I [?] there would be many Musquash[?] [?] for Bob [?] shen he comes down after the ice! If that man does not later regret his folly, I shall be very much astonished. He [?] not make a fortune if he [?] the bulk of the river [?] [?] [?]! I earnestly hope your Indians may pay up and do well in wiping out all debt balances this spring. [?] come out well this outfit, I anticipate no trouble in getting an increase of [?] for the next contract. I am going in hard for this in one time. I know when to do so, while those asked Mr McDougall to ouftit my accommodations. When the Indians put down crops or [?] work hard, I presume that they receive - i.e. the workers more [?] than is enter in Mr Gordon's list? Thanks for his attention and kind regards to him at the same time. If the Government give due attention to Tariff Reform and [?] Scrip (I wish you would write strongly to Mr MacDonnell on this scrip questions for I know what promises here made and not [?] in 1891 and this will lose many votes - perhaps the Seat itself!). I believe Mr MacDonnell would beat Newlands[?] or any of the [?]: [?] maybe otherwise under different circumstances. In future I must again remind you that Liquor coming for Carter in this District, from the H.B.Coy, Prince Albert, which I have freshly sanctioned, this only should be forwarded here by the Mail Carriers, or other H.B. conveyance. [?] [?] that one must refer to these orders. I can trust Horace, McDonald, King, Houston[?], Halcron, McLear, Haight and Beatty with liquor - but some of the others cannot have any without using it up as quickly as they possibly can - and to the neglect too often of their duty to the Company! This is [?] [?] the same very annoying and unpleasant to me. With kind regards to Mrs McKay Yours ever sincerely [?] MacFarlane. A McKay Esq."

Letter reading "Private - Hudson's Bay Company, Cumberland House 30 April 1894 - My dear Mr McKay, Albert Flett arrived up here on the 25 with the mail, having left the butter and dogs etc at Sturgeon River. Soon after, the river the Saskatchewan broke up, and the man is now north [?]. I hope fish won't get to Sturgeon River before Morse and Horace [?] that place, altho' a gale of wind has been against them since they left. I trust John Saheys and our resident trader [?] Cook will be able to hold him in check in the meantime. You had forgotten that last year I sent Edward Ladotte[?] up, earlier than usual, with the April mail. I was disappointed at not hearing from Major Colton and others but hope to do so [?] Louis Jourdain, who ought to be here this week. You acted very wisely in insuring your life in the great Company of the future. I wrote strongly in your favor to the commissioner and I also asked the Inspector to back up my recommendation and hope he will do so. There is no better form of investment for you and many others than carrying as much insurance as possible in the Mutual Reserve [?] Encourage all your friends to go and do likewise! I noticed the death of Scott's father - also that of poor Joe Hargrave, and [?] Ballantyne formed in the Company's Service and a great writer of [?] [?]. He was a good [?] man. You did well to keep the Bale [?] and Horace's liquor under the circumstances - but [?] will bring all I hope. I notice that the affair of the defunct Commercial Bank are in a much worse condition than people supposed. I am afraid that the poor shareholders will seriously suffer. Why does Gordon not have his life insurance in the same Company as you did? Mr Wright also ought to join and all those who can afford to do so. I have great faith in this [?] and heartily wish it the greatest possible success. I think if I were an agent of this [?], I could obtain some policies. As it is, I have [?] done much work for it, and one or more other insurance Companies and when or rather should I eventually thus act for pay, I hope I get on to go in for another policy to my advantage!! i think Henry will also Insure in [?] when a [?] offers for taking a medical examination. I hope you [?] will exceed my expectations. Later on I will give you details of ones. [?] [?] causes here operate adversely, while Foxes and Martens [?] have been remarkably scarce. I am afraid too that the [?] post will again prove a source of deep loss to the district. With all good wishes to Mrs McKay and yourself, Believe me yours very truly, [?] MacFarlane - P.S. You will see what I have written to [?] Umperville[?] in reply to his letter of inquiry - [?] MacFarlane"

Letter reading "Private - Cumberland House 9 July 1894 - My dear Mr McKay, Your official letter 30 June came to hand on Saturday G.P. Marcellair - but why did you not write full under private cover? By [?] McDougall you promised to do this [?] offering opportunity. And in the Steamers non-arrival and not a line from Prince Albert about her, we naturally expected to receive some reliable accounts from you concerning the "Northwest" - but more miserable and annoying disappointments! Why did you not [?] us all the news you knew? I am very thankful that I asked the [?] of this change - I have to have felt this delay of the steamer more annoying and worrying. I hope all may yet go well with her and the Company's [?] and business in Cumberland. This will be handed to [?] Moise. If he has any intention to come here to trade next winter, he had better beware, as [?] McDougall will [?] hundreds of dollars in ruining him or any other opponent - no matter how close and strict he may seem [?] he when [?] attacked! Fire him the best possible advice, especially as [?] McDougall likes Moise and will find him employment in Winter, when the same is necessary. I found Moise a [?] , decent and zealous worker. Are you going to pay your [?] at [?] payments at the new place and on the lines we spoke about this winter? [?] McDougall will have to sanction this, which is [?]. I have said nothing to him on the subject. After the steamer passes your place, no more mail matter of mine should be [?] to come here. Please see to this send mail to c/o H Bay House Winnipeg. Until then however, let letter paper [?]. I suspect a book this arrive. For must write me fully and [?] after I leave. I'll not forget[?].

Letter reading "Private. Cumberland House 18 June 1894. My dear Mr. McKay, William Whitehead arrived last night - but he did not bring us a line from you! I hope you are all well. Edward Cadotte's second daughter Elise, who was been ill since March, died yesterday morning, and will be buried today. they evidently did not expect the end was so near, or he would not have gone up with the June mail - he will feel the blow all the harder, as he was absent. Somehow on the eve of Edward's departure, I got ahead of time by one week - or I never would have asked you to sent the Priest and certain letters by special to Prince Albert! However, I hope he connected with the Mail, and that you saw [?]. The Bearer, P. Marcellain goes to Prince Albert on his own account. I think he requires any [?] also lately, he may have same, but wait until he asks you. Please sent the letters for Mr Galbraith and [?] Hines[?] to P.A. and if there be a mail on hand on his [?] he [?] to be trusted herewith, for delivery in safety at this place - J. Hines and C.J. Pritchard mail always excepted on such occasions! We got rain at last and lots thereof and this has [?] [?] hard [?] and [?] [?]. We had a spell of dry weather previously for nearly seven weeks! If the lake and river were exceptionally low in early June, it is the otherwise now. At this moment, the lake here is 1 foot 8 inches higher than the utmost height of last Summer - and 1 ft 3 ins above the level of 1892! And it looks as if it [?] still ascend! I have been expecting Mr Tyrrell for several days and hope he may turn up today as Pierre[?] starts in the morning and he might have letters to forward and I might have one or two to reply to. I trust he will arrive before Marcellain starts in the morning. At this place, despite of a scarcity of Bears, Beaver and especially Martens, I expect an [?] increase in Lynx and Musquash, will enable us to equal last years [?]. I think all the posts except The Pas and possibly Cedar Lake will be some what better than in [?] 1892. The Pas posts are very very low. But for "Lagrippe" the Northern posts would have done splendidly. As a whole however, the District is several thousand dollars, be ahead of last year. With kindest regards to Mrs McKay, Yours ever sincerely [?] MacFarlane. A McKay Esq"

Letter reading "Private Cumberland House 14 April 1894, My dear Mr McKay, The Mail Carriers started early yesterday morning and as the Weather since has been beautifully cold, I hope they will get about or nearly halfway tonight. If they get in on Sunday or Monday, you will I am sure, lose no time in dispatching them as early as possible, with all of the mail matter there on hand. We cannot wait for the mail of Thursday next - it can come lately the Scow. I also hope that Louis Jourdain the Bearer hereof will reach La Corne, in time to have the Mail carry same to Prince Albert - I mean the letters which will be found enclosed along with this, to your address. If you have not, as I wished, sent [?] Galbraith's letter before, better send [?] herewith and the others for him at once by land to P.A. by the aforesaid Lumberland letter bearers, who will thus gain a day or so on the Mail. In that case, and you find that the scow is to be built [?[ and [?] at La Corne, write M Galbraith to have this man Jourdain employed to give help in the building thereof, and thus utilize his paid for services. He will also suit to bring from here the scow and cargo - one or two men [?] be sent by you to [?] P.A. (if considered the best plan) in time - but not too soon - to join the scow when ready for her cargo. If we are to freight the S.D.[?] Potatoes [?] 3 men will be ample for the trip from P.A. to Cumberland and if the scow be small 2 men with John Sahys in a small canoe, ought to suffice for every needful purpose and prove quite capable of keeping up with and perhaps (John I mean sure) keeping in advance of him when when we [?] on the lines already indicate in my letters of the the other day. If you have an [?] shift much as [?], why send some [?[ scow, as there may not be enough from Prince Albert. I also wish you to send me a good pipe and a stem (1 inch)[?] for D.MacKay. Send it special in the Mail to my address, charged to Cumberland [?] [?] not cost more than a dollar or thereabouts. By the way, don't send by scow the Hines bales[?] on hand at La Corne, except steamer - but ship all of the other [?] J.D. and mission and C. Property - everything. Write me very [?] please scow and send for lists as [?] And don't forget the Enos Fruit Salts, if you omitted some [?] April mail. Louis and Co. with the scow, will come on direct to Pemmican Portage and J. Sahys will go and the "Cast off" and [?] the Cumberland people he will meet there and in close make [?] Master Fish and Company. He will pick up some fur no doubt. But sooner or later he will have to retire beaten, little all of his [?] from the Cumberland District. That is as soon as the Sun shines in the [?] and you will tell him so that you meet liver[?]! I don't think I an add much here to having written you so fully at Alber. With all good wishes and kind regards to Mrs MacKay [ie McKay] and yourself, Believe me, I am ever sincerely [?] MacFarlane - A. McKay Esq."

Letter reading " "Private" Cumberland House, 30 March 1894. My Dear Mr McKay, The Mail carriers made a very slow trip this time - they did not get here until Tuesday afternoon! Jack T. had been ill for most of a day and the snow storm on Friday I presume spoilt the track for them. We have more than last year and of course, this interferes sadly with the fur hunts, especially musquash[?]. The great [?] is coming down in spring they say - promises to burn the candle at both ends - i.e. reduce the price of foods and increase the Tariff for furs - and a a time too when the latter here fallen greatly in price!He has also asked the Indians to reserve all their furs and [?] money for him and has further promised to establish posts in the District! If he does, he must give debt - and when he give up doing so, his advances tot he Indian [?] worth many cents on the dollar you may sell believe! If [?] were a wise man, he'd keep out of the Fur Trade - but sooner or later, he will realize his folly. It will however be necessary for [?] to send a trusty and [?] man like John [?] to follow or precede [?] him with a few supplies - even to watch you [?] Indians along the river. We will on the lookout for [?] once he thinks the hunting grounds of our Indians, where he is likely to fall in with them. He will not make his fortune in Cumberland - no matter what success he may meet with at first. The Indians are [?] maybe to encourage him in the their own interests - tehy will expect debt and [?] from him and if he disappoints them, they will soon have against him. Their promises, even if signed, sealed and sworn are worth very little indeed, as he will find out dire and costly personal experience. By the way, there may be a [?] coming down from Prince Albert with seed potatoes, for the Indians - if so, may I have a few [?] at same time from Prince Albert. In that case, the [?] would probably precede or accompany [?], who has promised to follow the [?]. I enclose one of his [?], which he attempted to sow [?]. We ripped much or most of this underhand work. I assume[?] Dunlop should be turning up now. I hope he may bring us some Butter as we have none for the last few days! I trust he may bring some the [?] [?] [?] for D. Post 6. My [?] is certainly very forgetful. I will write him again [?] re: Invoices &c. We are in the same position ourselves - at times, for [?] of these. I guess the pieces for Hines, Cook and Beaded had better remain until after water; [?] private pakage maybe forwarded any offering opportunity on Jce[?]. Horace regrets that you did not send his case (second) Carter, as there would be no freight charge. I, of course, did not want it to come on the sled now, as [?] him, while he said nothing about Carter offering to [?] same, which would have altered matters. Horace can be fully [?] with liquor - not it is the reverse with one or so others and never with them I get any [?] of permission. It is very trying that one and all cannot be hunter with their own liquor! I knew nothing of Jerry Henderson's trip - did he go as far as Prince Albert? What did he take up and what did he carry back? Please give me full details of him and his journey. Henry (entre vous) is rather fond of liquor, but he is not near so noisy as they used to report. For his own sake and that of his family, I am sure I wish he gave it up for good. [?] did his best to prejudice him against me - he always abuses his best friends, especially when in Liquor. I think Henry how believes that I have never tried to injure him! You might have taken what [?] with Mrs McKay and the little ones to Prince Albert and I regret that you did not do so. I could have explained the matter to the commissioner, had he, as likely, inquired! I hope you are bear, bearer and that hunts of this spring may be excellent. Deep snow is a great [?] here at present and has been for weeks past. Martens and Foxes here also been scarce. Mr McDonald has not yet sent us the M R and Lac La Ronge requisition for supplies of cheap goods at Treaty Price. I will not fail to remember La Corne when [?] thereupon. I certainly want to go in for all the Treaty money that can be collected at a profit. The enemy carried the war to an [?] and you must [?] retaliate and defend the Company's interests. Will write again later on. In the meantime, with all good wishes and kind regards to Mrs McKay, Believe me, Yours sincerely, MacFarlane - A. McKay Esq"

Letter reading "Private. Cumberland House, 12 May 1894. My dear Mr MacKay [ie McKay], Louis got here late last night - but without a line from you except a brief official, and no mail matter except my own. I thought the rule hitherto to follow was to send all mail on board a craft under a good man while by other parties letter and a set of papers or more for all except [?], according to means and character. I am sorry you did not send all the mail on hand by Louis, as you did lastly and on other occasions. I am afraid you have misunderstood my wishes in this regard - otherwise you would have sent everything. John Sahyes will remain for present. I don't think Fish has done more so far - but he may do better at the Pas. [?] [?] I did not hear from Major Colton. I believe he and Betts were at [?] lastly. Did he not write? I also expect some mail matter for myself which did not come - but I hope to be more for [?] when Henry Dorian returns. I am anxious to get rid of your costly men as soon as possible - they will start this afternoon. [?] [?] will send a statement of their a/c. I will write more full by the mail on Monday next. I enclose a copy of the new Tariff Valuation - it is very very low. Go in for Castoreum and good quills - they sell well.

Letter reading "Private. Hudson's Bay Company. Cumberland House 10th May 1894. My dear Mr McKay, I wrote you very briefly [?] [?] Monce. We have not yet seen or heard aught of the "Big Fish", beyond his arrival at Sturgeon River. I dare say we shall know more of him and his [?] very shortly. Your brother Henry started with some supplies for the [?] yesterday, and will remain there assisting Mr [?] and watching Fish and his friend John Hines, for some little time. We have [?] [?] Morse Sahys and two others watching Fish and his people at Sturgeon River and [?] [?], and Horace Belanger next out there on Monday morning. We will have him followed up all the way to the Pas and beyond should he go further. He has entered from a Campaign of Warfare which will require the use of all his means, and ultimately lead him to grief as he will some say find out to his cost. In the meantime, he will give us much trouble, and put the Company to considerable expense - but the final result is certain to be adverse to him, despite any success or encouragement he may now or later on meet with. I have no doubt whatever in this connection - it is only a question of time and money. 2 p.m. The Saskatchewan River is rather low at present. We have just heard that Jourdain was coming via Sturgeon River; but the stupid should never send the mail, and I have no late news yet, Tho' I hope we may receive some tonight or tomorrow. Fish does not seem to be making any haul among the Indians, I hope he was to get much at the Pas; but I fear the latter [?] are not, many of them, ones honest, while all are in debt (most of them [?]) and the Company. The weather has been cool of late; but today is promisingly warm. In time, I suppose the river and lake will rise. Tom Campbell writes me that your brother Tom has insured in the [?] Mutual Reserve Company, also Lestock Reid and others, and he hopes many more will be equally wise. it is far and away the best provision a man can make for his wife and little ones. So far as yours are concerned, you must feel a little more satisfied than before insuring. Did you go in for a ten or fifteen policy? The former is just out - a new form adopted last year I believe. Henry's wife is not a strong woman - she is often unwell. I think she fails to take sufficient outdoor exercise, and she suffers from indigestion. The little ones seem to be alright. With all good and kind regards to Mrs McKay and yourself Believe me yours very truly [?] MacFarlane - Angus McKay Esq"

Letter reading "Private - Hudson's Bay Company. Cumberland House 20 July 1894. My dear Mr McKay, Yours of 11 July came to hand by [?] P. Aveel[?] [?] days ago. We are now daily, as has been the case for nearly three weeks, expecting the arrival of the steamer "Northwest" from Prince Albert! We hope she may not meet with any more mishaps enroute from P.A. and [?] rapids and back. I handed one letter to Mr McDougall and he will see that $400.00 be place to your credit with the Company at Prince Albert. The recent very hot weather should rise the river Saskatchewan quite a lot. It has been very warm here for days at a time. Vegetation is making good progress now. We get a little rain now and again, which helps matters greatly. Thanks for the new contained in your letter. Mr McDougall has been [?] [?] the inventories 1894, which will [?] adversely against 1893, and in favor of next Outfit. Send me a note of the reductions, as compared with last year, in your inventories simply for my information. How have you come out as to gain the low prices and the nonreceipt of a third of the [?] will seriously affect our balance check for 1893. There is no reason why you and Mr McDougall should pull well together. Be careful in following his instruction, and reduce [?] as much as possible. I will certainly repeat viva vice, what I have already written months ago to the Commissioner, and hope he will not overlook your strong claim for recognition, in the way of increased pay.

I gave him a letter of instruction for myself and one also to [?] so that he might have supper at a cheap [?] and also [?] attention and hospitality. He is a fine [?] man. Herbert [?] accompanies him but how far I cannot say, as I have not seen Dunlop since [?] last. If [?] Dunlop goes on [?] of horse [?] to Prince Albert, you had better enclose my letter herewith to Mr Galbraith for delivery and posting as [?] [?] [?] [?] as soon as possible. On the [?] the team will be sure to bring back any [?] [?] that may be on hand at Prince Albert. Write to Mr Galbraith accordingly, and arrange thus with the teamster, so that [?] may have nothing [?] (or very [?]) to pay for any such freight. If Herbert [?] [?] from la Corne send all the mail and freight on hand there of him, receipt of course, a case liquor for [?] [?] and another for Horace which I already wrote you here to be held [?] until April next. Get him to take as much as he conveniently can [?] leave nothing en route especially the mail and let it be well secured from next. Get him to travel at night and [?] he's [?] [?] him the best [?] and to his guide. Write me fully of him. It is raining here today. It won't be cold maybe later on.

Letter reading "Private. Cumberland House, 15 May 1894. My dear Mr McKay, Mr Fish at first could get very few furs, but having [?] lot of overstock, which he must sell anyway, he is going [?] bargains, and of course, with these unreliable and dishonest Indians (most of them I fear) he is now picking up a few more [?]. If he intends [?] [?] here and at Pas, he is acting [?] [?] and he cannot raise prices later as while we can in trade similar goods and beat him with his own weapons - while tariffs can be increased in price and the Debt System abolished sooner and easier than was [?] [?]. He is, [?] [?] [?], fighting our battle I have not altered our tariff - but to present this man at Pine Bluff near Sturgeon River from canoeing matter before [?], John Sahys has been permitted to offer him [?] on the line of the La Corne Tariff and he is doing very well I hear. Fish has been sending [?] several quarters and we have to anticipate and follow him up, still indebted fellows give him a few dimes for the [?] reason. He is going to the Pas shortly. He cannot canoe his stuff back and must sell. He is thus killing the future of some who will trade for him, because they cannot go back to a high tariff with any advantage and there will later on be a clear field for working under a Profit Trade System. I had a long talk with Fish yesterday - he is not a bad fellow and is shrewd enough- but he does not realize these Indians fully. I hope he won't [?] [?] time, because that [?] injure their future another winter and also lessens some of our advances to them. Some will doubtless regret present action when too late. Fish's ultimate defeat is only a question of time, no matter who is in charge of the Cumberland District. After 50 years of [?], nearly all of these Indians are not strictly honest or honorable - a few are both and are worthy of respect and regard. The present is a Testing Time, and many will later regret their folly. It will be no use sending Henry Dorian back without a mail, as I have already stated. Try and spare us some Butter - we have not [?] got [?] since April! and we have had none here for over a month! They are also short at the Pas. You will, if necessary, send Tim[?] Cook who was promised the trip, back with Henry - if he can come alone, well and good - but I guess it will be safer for him to have a companion. With all good wishes and kind regards to Mrs McKay and yourself, Believe me, Yours ever sincerely, [?] MacFarlane - A. McKay"

My dear Mr. MacKay [ie McKay], Henry Dorian arrived [?] early on Monday morning and brought me your letter date 20 and 24 May, which I will now answer. Fish and John left this on Saturday afternoon, they should get to La Corne in a day or two. I hope the former will get nothing en route. He and [?] talk of sending to Cumberland at Treaty Five[?] - well all the money has already been taken up and I don't think many of the Indians will [?] to refund their advances and they break utterly with the Company. I should say, with some confidence, that it would pay any party to send so far, because at the best, there is little or no money even for the Company in these payments! However, they will no doubt please themselves. I don't think Fish received much [?] encouragement in Cumberland - but he no doubt got any amount of talk and promises if he were simple enough to come and build tradeposts. He had proofs of what the [?], could do when their agents were present and but for various reasons beyond control at the moment, he would not [?] got a couple of hundred musqrats himself on his whole life - some misunderstood and they neglected orders; but I am sure he must have been disappointed. With two new trading and hunting for [?] in this [?] since January last, $200.00 alone Tariff valuations, will cover their own and [?] personal [?] to date and $200.00 more will cover his Pas Trader's trade and his own also - making a total of $400.00. I bought all - but of this men we have still to get $70.00 [?] may not be given up [?] his men, also insured their [?] and trade to be [?] to the Company. [?] suppose his traders hunt and trade another hundred dollars worth of furs before the season has closed and get the grand total net amount to be very much - and it may be as much or more than he will get another year! Bears appear to be remarkably scarce this [?] this season. I am afraid we shall be nowhere in Bears and Beaver - glad to see that you are doing well in the former and I hope you will still pull up in the latter line. I hope the [?] also will be much ahead of [?] [?]. Edward [?] goes there on Sunday evening, [?] P. Charlebois will bring us tomorrow's mail. Have the C.P.R. official [?] to the Summer Travel Outer?

Campbell - it must have been written shortly before his death! He was a [?] [?] man. Fish had a few good articles over at Pas and here, which I took over because I knew they were to prove useful to us. Almost one hundred dollars in all. I declined to buy any [?] on his way down. I don't think he lead very much in all. I won't touch any future stock. I valuation Tariff is very low - but there is the hope that the furs themselves will realize good prices when they come to be sold. I believe they will/ The comparative failure of the fur seals ([?] hunting) in Bering's Sea will bring up Beaver and [?] bear, good Bear skins are always valuable. I have not had a line from [?] Fortescue, nor Peter Bell, for quite a period. I hope they are all well and comfortable. What is Nellie doing at present?

Your brother Henry started on Monday and will go as far as Pelican Narrows. One of Fish's traders (Charles [?]) is a native of that section and [?] out in that direction with some supplies for Trade. It is not easy for anyone to get the better of Henry or Horace, when they are present with the [?] in an Indian Camp or elsewhere. I hope so. There was some grog around lately and he never touched it for over a week. He told me he [?] giving it up for good. We haven't had a drop of rain so far this Spring and the crops will therefore suffer unless there be some rain shortly. We have had any amount of wing, while lately the weather has been fairly [?]. I think I wrote you lately for a small supply of good eating potatoes - four bushels or less.
