A few miles away it was extreme both seasons. Last year was a most pleasant year for farming operation except for this storm but this year too much wind and rain.

 The city of Regina made a fine growth last year two fine hotels and quite a number of business houses going up.  This year the building is equally as good but mostly residences

and a few good sized apartment houses.

 I could get around but little last winter on account of the bad roads  I hope it will be better this winter with the new road. It is to run from Metamora to Caz. right along the

railroad and then our place.

 I thank you, May, for your kind wishes expressed in your last letter and I surely feel the same for you.  I hope you may drop me a few lines sometime.    I might add that for 

familiar things have changed a lot for the better here in the past three years and In Illinois have seemed to have gone a lot worse.

 Goodby and goodly blessings follow you May.      James.
