Description: Letter reading "Private - Hudson's Bay Company. Isle a la Crosse 27th March 1901 - My dear Angus, I find I have to send to G.L.[Green Lake] again to drop you a few lines. So McDougall did get back to [?] to meet the packet. I had a private letter from him he expects to get a change from this Dist soon will I cannot say in many ways the Dist won't be the looser [ie loser], he is by his management sending the Dist to the devil as fast as possible and remember even when he sees [?] cannot-but-see how his [?] is working would try and shift the blame on to other peoples shoulders. I will give you an instance - you know our instructions regarding debts. I write him giving him an instance of how his instructions are working after New Year. La Grippe and influenza broke out among the Indians here - the opposition had no flour and of course they came to one remember good times some of the best as Isle a la Crosse requesting one to give them flour on debt - of course I had to refuse according to instructions [?] and [?] sent and got in flour which they gave out in debt since then I have got very little furs from those Indians I wrote McDougall and mentioned the facts to him, he turns around and [?] one that I should have given those Indians provisions - now if I did so in the first place and some of them from some came in also were unable to pay one, then he would he the first - [?] - accuse me of giving advances to Indians against his instructions. McDougall is not a straight forward man by any means. He will always turn the blame on others shoulders and where credit comes in will soon take it himself. Now already boats for summer, freighting at this place I wrote him about getting a new [?] built - that he Outfit one in P.A. that he had, [?] down for me at G.L. large enough to bring down all or nearly all the Outfit, and as he said so I defended upon him he now writes [?] he was [?] when at Isle a la Crosse last that the boats were good for two summers yet and that I should have mentioned the subject to him last November what the devil did I know about the boats last fall they will sink in the Bay and remained there till we hauled them up before the Ice took. Then he says he told Old Vincent at Ilse a la Crosse to get boards sawn and dried to build a flat boat this Spring. [?] [?] Vincent who denies hearing McDougall mention anything on the subject. Now I suppose he will blame you for our freight not being all at G.L. He is an old fraud, he should retire. I have heard no very particular news form the outside world - [?] is accountant in Lake Superior District . I hear [?] the proposed pension will come into effect after in the H.B. Company meeting in London next July - I would [?] [?] bet that is what McD is waiting for. Bustin[?], Beecher, Hall, Milne and McDougall are all in Winnipeg God knows what they are all doing. Hall used to be in charge of British Columbia the "Western Department" it is now called British Columbia District and under charge of a clerk called Thompson who was at one time in charge of the Calgary store. There is great change predicted in the HB Service in the near future what they are I cannot say. I for one at all events am going to make a change for myself.

Description: Letter reading "Phone 1461 Chaffey and Verhoeven Block, 289 Garry Street - B.E. Chaffey, Barrister, Solicitor, Notary Publice &c - Winnipeg, Man. 6th March, 1909. Dear Sir:- I have yours of 30th Jany. The market for scrip is dull and there is no money to be made at the prices here although scrip is comparative low. Now whenever I want money scrip, or land scrip and ask for them the parties say they are sending north and expect to get some in. Now couldn't you buy this scrip from me at first hand in the north, so that I could save that commission. Another point, I expect Mr McLean will go north this Spring in June to issue scrip, could not I make an arrangement with you to buy some of the scrip for me. You could possibly arrange it with some person at the poasts [ie posts] where scrip will be issued. I don't think it would pay to send a man from here on that purpose, as he might not get enough scrip to pay expences [ie expenses], and the man I had in view coming from that country is not trust-worthy. And it is dangerous proceeding to place money in the hands of a party you are not sure of. Is it advisable in such a case to deposit the money with the Hudson's Bay Company here and get a credit on their poasts [ie posts], or to send the actual cash. Of course the former is the most convenient and safe. But in detailing with the Natives here they always wanted cash in their hand. Please give this matter consideration and let me hear from you. I am also expecting now at any time to have the deeds and papers expected from you. Your truly, B.E. Chaffey - Angus McKay, Esq. Isle a la Crosses c/o Hudson's Bay Co, Prince Albert"

Mr [?] returned a few days ago from La Loche where he went after New Year to assist Clarke in making up his books and accounts. Clarke is doing well so far. Mr Greenwood from Fort McMurray or Little Red River paid a visit to La Loche he reported having far more fur inland than Tommy Clark at same date.

I expect to have $12000 by the time the March packet goes out. Marcelin I hear leaves here in a few days for G.L. and Duck Lake he is sending me his furs and it would not break my heart if he never came back. He could make money himself by his trading and [?] other by his high prices he paid 600 and 700 [?] for Silver Foxes he claims he did not pay old accounts (last [?] debts) but he had paid of it those some parties [?] up that same amount a year in new advances.

Description: Letter reading "Incorporated A.D. 1670. The Hudson's Bay Company. Personal. Prince Albert, Sask. Jan. 18th. 1907. Dear Sir, Mr. Cumines came in a few days ago intending to take out a stock of goods, about two sleigh loads, with which to do some trading for himself. He relied principally on his share of the "scrip deal" for the money which to buy. He selected stock from the stores up town, Geo. Baker's, Fred Baker's etc. etc., which they had packed ready for his departure today. Unfortunately for Cumines, Coleridge would not stand to the bargain made and he had no money to pay for the goods selected which the merchants, I learn, will not let go without the cash down. I believe Cumines gave Coleridge a tongue threshing yesterday at the "Windsor" calling him a thief, liar, etc. in the presence of many witnesses. Cumines is, I think, still in town. From Cumines I have learned that Coleridge, he believes, had possession of Halcrow's scrip certificates, transfers, etc. and if such be true it is doubtful if he will ever see them or the proceeds again. He will tell them "You put no money into this business." McDonald, I believe, was bought out pretty cheap by Colerdige for T.O. Davis and I think took a considerable part of his pay in lad at Warman of doubtful value. Cumines tells me that he was promised $1,000.000 for his fidelity and work for the "gang" and he heartily wishes he had smashed the combination as he could have done. It is doubtful if McDonald or Halcrow will come out of the deal as well as if they had taken their chances with the rest as we did. Cumines I suppose will go back to Isle a la Crosses and when he gets there he will spread consternation among those who, like himself, are awaiting their reward for the infidelity to the Company.
