San Juan Island Febuary [February] 28^th 1868

My Dear Brother Since I last wrote you, I have received two letters from you. One, under date of Oct. 8^th, and one of Dec 17^th, the one of Oct. 8^th enclosing one from Mother under date of Sept 14^th. I commenced an answer to your letter of Oct. soon after receiving it, but having to go to Portland, at that time, I thought that I would finish it on the voyage down, and mail it there, the weather was rough that I was unable …

Dear Brother Your welcome letter under date of Oct. [October] 6^th last came to hand only last week, where it has been all this time, is a mystery [that I] which I wish, that I could solve. I wrote you a long letter in August which you should have received at or about the time your letter is dated, and I have been anxiously looking for an answer to it for some time past, and began to think that you surely could not have rec. [received] it, but as …

My dear brother In my last to you I inclosed [enclosed] a long private letter, but as I fear that you may not have received it I will briefly recapitulate its substance, which related cheifly [chiefly], to a difficulty with Mr Cutlar my partner. In July last I intended to have sent you two thousand dollars to apply upon my indebtedness to you & Ashley, as we had a brisk little run of business and I thought it my duty to draw out all that I possibly could for you. …

Victoria May 30^th 1864 Dear Brother When I wrote you in January I did not think that I should allow so long a time to lapse before writing you again. But the prospect of my selling out here, and going home, which I fully advised you of at that time, has resulted in nothing but disapointment [disappointment], and has kept me in such a state of uncertainty and doubt that I had been expecting from week to week would be put an end to that I have delayed writing you much longer than I ought, or will again. The …

Please return this soon William

San Juan Island Sep 25th/63 [1863]

Dear Brother

Yours of July 30th came to hand last week and received a warm welcome, it is such a pleasure and relief to me to hear from home. When I say this you perhaps may wonder why it is that I am so delinquent in writing but the fact is my dear brother that I have little to write about except myself (and that so very unsatisfactory) that I often commence a letter and give it up thoroughly overcome with the blackest kind of blues. The isolated life …

I find that I am not able to …

My dear Brother Enclosed I send you an account of sales of the Rubber Boots & Shoes shipped me by Ashley the charges on them, are only what I actually paid out on them and nothing in the way of commissions. The shipments were unfortunate though the goods, being of such an inferior quality, had they proved equal to Haywards Boots &, Shoes that are sold in this market, I think that I could have made something upon them instead of being obliged to sell them at a ruinous loss. I had …

San Juan Island March 14^th 1863

My Dear Brother When I wrote you last under date of Dec [December] 21^st I mentioned (for the hundredth time probably) that I was going to improve, and write you oftner, than I had been in the habit of doing, but alas for human resolutions, and most especially my own, for they are barren of fruits, and productive of only regrets, at their failure. I have however been exceedingly occupied since I last wrote, the winter being unusually fine and dry, there has been a demand for lime, that we were unprepared …

My Dear Brother I arrived here this morning from San Juan Island, and found your welcome letter awaiting me at the Post Office. I regret that I did not get it sooner, but I have not been in Victoria for about six weeks, and although I have requested persons to enquire for the letters for me, they have reported none. I am confident however, from the date of yours Aug [August] 28^th, that it must have been here the last time I sent. I am sure that I …

On my return to this place last week from Portland, Oregon, where I had been something over a month on business, I found your two welcome letters of April 10^th & May 28^th. I cannot understand why it is that letters are so delayed on the way from Canada to this place, I ought to have received yours of April 10^th previous to my leaving for Portland, neither do I receive more than one half of the letters you write me, for you mention that for the past …

My Dear Brother[,]

Enclosed you will please find two blank notes sent for my signature. I feel that I am unable to sufficiently thank you for your kind letter of May 28^th, [and] nor to express my gratitude for the kind brotherly feeling pervailing [prevailing] it. The obligations that I am under to you and Ashley are of such a nature, and my position with regard to them is so unsatisfactory, that it has weighed heavily upon my spirits and caused me many a sleepless night, [and] [ ] [ ] [for] …

Victoria V I June 2d 1863

My Dear Brother

How I wish that it was in my power to fill up this sheet with something satisfactory to myself as well as to you, but I cannot it is still the same old story, of struggling and hoping, of that hope defered [deferred], which maketh the heart sick. I had hoped to have had a good summer trade (and may yet, late in the season) but the price of labour [labor] has taken such a rise that all building is stoped [stopped] for the present. Masons, Bricklayers, Carpenters, and all other …

Yours of Feby [February] 14^th came to hand last mail, but the Steamer remained here so short a time that I had not time to answer it then.
