"Apr. 27/05

Dear folks,
Thought I'd send you a picture p.c. We've been having prairie fires raging all around us lately, did not come near our place, but "Jim" got his granary burnt and the boys had hard work to save the stable. John had quite a time fighting fire at his place a while ago, if he had not been there his buildings would have gone up in smoke. "Norman" has been sick, had to take him to the Dr. in Yorkton, but is getting better again. John lost another horse lately; busy seeding very dry but lovely weather. Yours, J. Wilson"
