Title: Letter to Angus McKay from C.P. Miller:
Institution: Univesity Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Letter reading "Hudson's Bay Co'y La Pierre's House McKenzie River Dist. N.W.T. 30th May 1888 - My dear Angus, Your letter of the 15th Decr '87 came to hand on the 1st of May '88 and although the steamer will not be at Peel River for over a month yet, still as I shall soon be crossing the mountains to that place and be pretty busy while there, I must try and answer your very welcome letter now. I am rather down in the mouth just now, owing to having starvation as a very close neighbor, the dogs have had no prey in nearly a week and my servants are living on what they can pick up in the Indian camps, as for myself I have always so far managed to get three meals a day. The reason of this failure of provisions is that the spring has been very backward and owing to the ice still being stuck in the river, the Indians are as yet unable to reach here with their skin boats, however I expect it will only be for a few days or so that we shall be short, as I understand the Indians have plenty of meat, but it is playing the deuce with a lot of five young pups I have, I am sorry to say. I am at present trying to kill time by learning "Pitmans" system of shorthand, and I have no doubt I shall succeed if I only keep at it. The novels you kindly mentioned sending have not yet received, but they will no doubt come with the steamer, as Mr Camsell wrote me that the packet was too heavy to be able to carry any parcels. You say this must be a queer country, with the sun never setting for six weeks, and you are right it is a very queer country and only fit for its aboriginal inhabitants, and not for people of white blood, but you make a mistake, the sun is seen for six weeks in the spring and almost vice versa in the winter. So you are seriously thinking of getting married. Well done you, and you are quite right to do so to, if you can manage to get hold of a respectable sort of creature. I tell you what Mr. If I could manage to get hold of a decent looking girl, with a little education, I would get married tomorrow, if I had to marry myself which is very likely, as the nearest clergyman is 80 miles across the mountains at Peel River, but as for taking a Loocheaux squaw, bah! I would just as soon marry a whore. These Indians beat everything. They have no more shame or pride (pride of the right sort) than a prostitute who begs a shilling at midnight from you on the street, under the threat of covering you with foul language. We have had a very severe winter indeed. I crossed to Peel River with the packet with dogs, and the morning I left that place to return here, the thermo was 62 below zero, we were two nights wind bound at the foot of the mountains, and there we were stuck, in an open camp with the wind covering us with drift snow and driving the smoke in our faces, add to this that provisions now out owing to our detention, and you have an idea of what freighting in winter is sometimes like in this country. Good by and when you go (if you have not already gone) a wooing way you meet with full success, is the sincere wish of Yours Sincerely, C.P. Miller"

We had very bad luck indeed, as we could not at all travel on account of head wind.

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.

The Merchants Bank say the forwarded my Pass book to Pitt last Winter, but I have never received it and should very much like to find it, have you seen anything of it? We have been here 6 weeks and like the place and people very much. They have made application for me to be appointed their Clergyman here and by their their request I too have applied to the Executive Committee for the post, which will be decided after the Bishop's return. I have written to some of your clergy for letters Testimonials - the poor old Bishop promised me his [?] [?] which I refused, or rather I did not [?] to get it before I returned to England. You have [?] and been associated with me for some time and a live from your might stand well in every favour. My Wife and baby and niece and also two young gentlemen are with me on my place but the fact of not having our claims from the Govt. keeps us from making very much progress. I hope they will shortly cheer our hearts by paying us our losses. We have a very pretty place 3 miles West of Oak Lake Station and 300 yards from the Railway. We have on our place lots of wood, water, grass and tillable land, so as far as the location goes "our lives are cast in pleasant places", but we have neither horse nor cow nor are we likely to have until our funds increase. I have a garden with plenty of potatoes and vegetables in and about 4 acres of barley. I have also [?] the kitchen portion of my house and [?] a good well. So you seen our advances are working great. I had a trip to Regina last week on Lone Man's trial - I saw Mr Halpin there and he turned round and defended the Indian after giving previous evidence against him - Sakamou[?] said he was a prisoner and saw Lone Man, all the time the firing was going on and that Lone Man's uncontrollable horse brought him to fall over the Wounded Policeman. I made Sakamou[?] own that he carried a gun all the while he was in Camp and that he was at the fight at Cut Knife Hill. I have some little things to send to the Onion Lake Indians when I have an opportunity. I am glad to hear good news of the Mann's especially of Mr Mann's promotion. Please kindly remember us to them. You must think a great piles of your Moose, you ought to make a good price of it when you sell it. Our only pets are 1 Rooster, 5 Hens, 2 Ducks and I useless Dog. I had 2 Pigeons and one got away the 1st day and the other got out a few days after and I cut short his retreat with the gun. We have lots of game here but cannot get much just now. We had a very happy time with our friends in England, it was well worth 7 years in the North West to spend Six Months such as we had. Our baby will be 2 years on the 21st. Instant which we will be kept by all the Nobility as it is the Queen's Jubilee[?] the [?] is Boss of the whole outfit. He is really the biggest boy I ever saw for his age. Remember me kindly to Mr Duffren and Francois. I must now close with kind regards and every best wish in which wife heartily writes. Believe me, yours very sincerely Charles Quinney"
