I've added six cards to my collection of "Government Agent" cards, bringing my total to 18 (32 or 33 are known to exist). This one explains that "Cattle are driven from ranches in hundreds and loaded on cars for English and other markets." The card was unused.

Valentine & Sons no. 100,389, postmarked Jan. 8, 1906 (year doubtful) at Hargrave, Man. to Mr. Norris S. Viles, 243 Ward Street, Newton Centre, Mass.: "Dear Father: Today is your birthday. You have passed another milestone. Many congratulations. We are all well. We are having lovely spring weather. The grain is well up. Most everyone has finished seeding around here. Both oats and wheat are a good price. Hoping you are well. I am -- Lovingly -- Eva."
