Pinder, Albert, nd. 2 Two drafts have already been picked out this week and it is only Wednesday. They are only small ones.

The mill did not pay and has not been running for years. He was made caretaker of it and lives on the place. He has a few chickens 2 cows and 2 heifers,...

Pinder, Albert, June 20th, 3, back but he did quite a number of years ago. His wife is quite fat, she has no children, but she thinks lots of his. They are all married three of his boys are in the army, one a sailor, and a prisoner of war in Germany, three of his son-in-laws are soldiers. The family is well represented in the army. I find he and his wife quite nice, and happy. He goes preaching all over the country. Then he rides a bicycle. Rawcliffe has changed a great deal since you...
