Title: Letter to Angus McKay from John Graham:
Institution: Univesity Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Letter reading "Winnipeg 22nd April 1890 - Angus McKay Esq H.B.C. Fort Pitt NWT - Dear Sir, Some years ago Norbert Adam son of Baptiste Adam and Marie Roger of St Francois Xavier sold the north-east quarter north half of south east quarter of section 12 tp 12 Range 4 west in this Province to one Edwin Allen. The title has passed to a Mortgage of Allens or to Allen subject to a mortgage. It appears Adam was not of proper age when he made the deed to Allen and I am acting for the mortgages and are very anxious to get a conformatory[?] deed to Allen. I have been advised by some Hudson Bay men here to write you and I take the liberty of doing so. I enclose a deed which I desire you to have Adam sign. I have been informed that Adam is or was from Swift Current to Pit freighting and that he left about 7 or 8th. I wired to a party in Edmonton and tried to get him there but have not yet heard with what success. [?] you can find him. I desire that you will make an effort to get the deed signed and I will pay you for your trouble and pay you whatever you may have to give to Adam. I am very anxious to get the matter straightened up and you are at liberty to pay Adam up to $25 or $50 rather than not succeed. If you send deed to Captain Adams here of H.B.C. I will pay him amount of your charges and [?] paid out by you. Kindly inquire from Adam whether he gave a deed at Battleford or not. If he did I would not of course want a second one. Please do what you can for me and advise me either by wire or letter of results. I remain Yours truly, John Graham, Barrister Winnipeg"

In accordance with your letter I today paid taxes on Lots 17, 18, 19, 46, 48 Blk 3 - [?] amounting to $6.73. These lots had been advertised for sale and [?] have been sold on the 29th of March.

I well know that Mr. and Mrs. Mann are in the position and circumstance you mention, and no one wishes to be kinder to them and assist them more than I do. I have known Mr. Mann as long as a can remember anything and I don't think that he will venture to say that my family ever lost an opportunity of showing their kindness to his family, or that I personally was ever anything but friendly to him. In the matter of his debt however, that we wish to get judgement for so as to hold it, he cannot say, I am sure, that he treated my family fairly even when he was in a position well able to liquidate it; but even in this view I am not disposed to do anything which would oppress him, but I want the debt in the form of a judgement, so that it may not become barred by the statute of Limitations, and if good luck ever does come to him with the turn of the wheel he can pay the sum due. I wrote him some time ago saying that possibly he could pay us a small rate of interested and by and by if he got into better circumstances he could pay the principal.

Title: Letter to Angus McKay from William Kennedy:
Institution: Univesity Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Letter reading "John M. Mcdonnell, Barrister, &c. Winnipeg, Manitoba. Winnipeg, June 22 1882 - My dear Angus, Nothing ever gave me greater surprise in my life, than your nice long friendly letter which I found awaiting me at the old Coll: where I still contrive to hang out, although I am studying to be a "liar" in Winnipeg here. It is good for sore eyes (as is commonly said) to behold once more your well known characters. By George! I was just commencing to think that you had long ago forgotten me, however I am delighted in the extreme, to find that such is not the case, and I may say that the delight and joy that I felt at receiving your letter was simply indescribable. Well I am very much afraid that I cannot suitably reply to such a nice long letter as yours as alas! My stock of [?] is very limited indeed, so if I don't give you satisfaction, you must make ample allowance for one. I have now been at the Law for nearly a year - 11 months more nearly; so that you see I have had a pretty good opportunity of getting an insight into legal affairs. Last summer, as you are aware, I had the great distinction of having the appendage "B.A." added of affixed to my previous signature, so that I have only to serve another year under articles to admitted as a full fledged Barrister of this Prov: It is [?] any serious intention to go out to Prince Albert to join myself to the legal fraternity in that "Eden of the North West" as it is so frequently designated when I hope I may have the distinguished honour of counting you amongst my clients and I may say that my desire to do so is greatly inflamed by the glowing accounts both yourself and Jockey give me of the settlement. I want to try to get out there as early as possible so that I may not be made to give place to newcomers. Your brother Jimmie is also going to study for the law - He is going to Baird and Blanchard's office the best in the City - He has lately distinguished himself in a remarkable degree, thereby reflecting very great credit on both himself and his noble old institution of St. John's and I may say that brilliant as all his former achievements were, his last fairly eclipses them all and sheds a most dazzling light and luster on his expansive brown, and skill (which by the way is very closely shaven - the result of a very severe attack of [?] which took place a few weeks before his Exam:) I consider that his [?] the Governor Generals silver medal was an [?] in his remarkable career, the men [?] of which will be handed down to the very latest posterity. And I am sure that wherever the numerous progeny of the "rale auld" McKay stock may take up their habitation his praises will be sung in a style worthy that renowned a sturdy race, whose proud boast is that she also has you amongst her sons. He competitors for the prize were all able men - very able - which only renders his distinction the greater. [?] Machray also received the Gov Genls bronze medal which is given to the best candidate at the Prev Exam: You may imagine the magnitude of his success when I tell you that amongst his competitors was the Rev. A.E. Cowley who is one of the Examiners of the [?] [?] [?] Phil: in fact old St John's took the lead this year all through all her studends did very well indeed which fact I know will delight you.

No doubt A.G.P.[?] will have a say in the exact amount. I suppose you will be the next one we will hear about getting a better half - wish you joy old boy if you do take yourself a blooming bride - I heard you were awfully spooney on Miss Clarke when she was at Carlton. She is a [?] just now. I will again undertake to look after your interests on that quarter if you like - and look after them too most assiduously. I was doing remarkably well in that [?] in the other quarter when I commenced to find out that my own interests were taking a first consideration whilst yours were only obtaining a second, so I quite the task in utter disgust. How ever I'll try and do better this time. John Hector has returned from Alaska, quite recently where he was employed in some fur coy'. He does not seem to have altered very much, although he has grown very tall. No more news once cannot gather up a surplus of it you Know in a law office Your old friend Wm T.B. Kennedy. P.S.[?] is shortly leaving for the Cumberland Mission - He feels father glum at leaving St John's more especially as his affections are set upon something in that Parish "Old Tom's" daughter I am very much afraid old Mae has his eyes fixed on [?] - Old Tom sold out for $90,000 - O [?] for [?] scribe, et melius scrib[?] [?] W.L.B.K."
