We have six hogs, and I am bobbing a heifer calf. 1 have 34 chickens. I think the farmer will he to find fault before harvest. John have been very busy for to do the spring work ; now he have finiifihed his chopping for this year ; he has 7 acres chopped, but not any burnt off, for it is very showery weather at present, and very hot indeed, hotter than ever it has been since we have been here. Dear brother, w-e have heard in William llapson's letter, that our aged parents was no more. 1 have been waiting for a letter from you, day after day, and have no letter yet, as you said you would send as soon as there was a change. Pray tell me how my dear father felt before he departed this life, and my dear mother also. I hope we shall all meet again at the right hand of God. Tell me all you can, go to John's frienda, ask them to send the particulars of his father's death, and how they all are.

Elizabeth is living out about 3 miles from m., and is ^--l^'':^yj^^ J^^Ii is living with me, keeping my house, As you aic now lasi ' 3 advancing In years, if you arc not doing well, and have no better prospect than the parish, I should be very glad for you to come here, and live with nie. I have 100 acres of land, and have enough of it cleared, and things enough around nie, to maintain myself without going out to work at all ; and 1 continue clearing more ; and 1 will keep you as long as I live, if I live. If my brother Thomas wishes to do hiniaelf any good, I should advise him by all means to come here, he would be sure to do well here, either as a brickmaker, a farmer's laborer, or, if he likes, I will give him the choice either of going in partnership with me on my farm, or let him have half the land, whether he is married or single makes no difference, for children are no burden here ; if people cannot keep them themselves, there are plenty of the old settlers, glad to keep them, if you will let them have them for a certain term of years, according to their age. If my brother Thomas will not come, tell Luke Slaughter I will give him the same chance if he will comc,^ and I have no doubt but he will be well satisfied with it, if not, there are plenty other chances that he cannot get in England. Tell any of my brothers in lav/, or old acquaint- ance, that 1 have no doubt but they will do better than when I left. Give my best respects to Mr. and Mrs. Hooker, and 1 hope they are well, and doing well, and be sure to shew them this letter, and I hope all my old fellow brickinakers are well, and doing well, if not, tell them to come to Canada, and nerer mind about the rcvoluticMi, for that is over at pre- sent, unless it breaks out again. I was out between two and three months last winter,' and \\as head drummer for our regiment of militia. We had 2 IbB. of the best white bread, and 2 lbs. of beef a day, and Is. Id, English money. Every man in this country, rich aiid poor, from the age of sixteen to sixty are militia men, and liable to be called out in case of need, but this being a revolutionary concern, they would not take any that tliey thought were dis-affected, only the loyal part of our population, nearly all Adelaide were out ; in peaceable times they cannot make us train more than four times a year, we seldom train more than twice or three times a year, and some townships only train one day in the year, on* the 4th. of June ; this is called the general muster day, all must be present then, or give a good account of their absence ; but any man over forty fire, is not obliged to attend on any other day. When we were out our regiment searched houses, and disarmed several persons, but not a shot was lirctl by anv of our regiment at any person, or at any ot us fc.t-.-^W;Mm.-"7iii- WM^'^« by them; tho.c was a sdiooner ^vith^^onic rebels, .KU.n- non, arms, anmumition, ^c. taken after consulera )!e fiiu f, by the.

James Thomas, Thomas Ihomas, their wives and families are all well ; James lives near me, and his brother is coming to live here soon. , . .i. Write to me the first opportmiity, pay the postage to the water, and put on it, via New York, if you send it by the b Vosl, eke it will cost me double the postage. Let nie know how you all are, or whether any of you intend coming or not. Let me know how my uncle gets on liddling now, I should like to have a tunc with him now. 1 brought my violin out safe, and we sometimes have u tune, when we raise a new house. Send us all the news you can. It has been too hot this season for some things here, but generally speaking it is the best and rmest season we have had since we iiavc been here, and every thing pretty plenty. Mr. Hasted, that used to travel with the dog van, is well, and soon coming to live opposite me, having 150 acres of land opposite of the 1st. quality ; and 300 acres about 3^ miles off me : he sends his best respects to all his old customers, and friends, and would be glad to do any of them a kindness should they come here, he wonders some of his old friends do not come, he would let them have land, or any thing he can, as he wants but little for himself. I must conclude with my kmd love to }ou all, and remain your dutiful son, CHARLES RAPLEY. 5 r I've-;* Richard and Frances Pul/cn, ivho emigrated to Upper (uiiaa'a, in IK^/, iu the Ship Diana, sent out by the My dear Sister and Brother, This comes with our kind love to you all, in hopes to find vou all >\ ell, as thank (jlod it leaves us all at present ; but RichM-d enjoyed hcaltii very bad all the summer; it V as a very hot summer, more so than it has been for this ten years, but thank Uod lie is well now. My dear sister, I hope vou will not give vourself so much trouble about me, for 1 know, my dear sibtcr, that we get a better living than we should in England, if it is so bad as it was when we left ; but my dear sister and brother, if 1 had as good convenience to come home, as I had to come here, I would soon be with you, for 1 think it would be the happiest hour that ever I spent, if I could once more be with you all. But I should make myself more happy if it was not for war, for we have had a great deal of trouble about war since we have been here • and I have been afraid that Richard would be forced 'i nwri)' from iis, btit lliaiik (Jod we li;ivc boon annctl with vhe A!mii!;htv's defence tluis f.ir, for there have been n i;reat many forced to go from this phice, for the Yankees from the United States, want to <^ain the Canachis, for now this fall there came over abont two hnnch'ed and began to fight, but thank God they only killed four of our side before our British soldiers liegan to fight, and they killed thirty all in one place, and dug a pit, and threw them in like logs, and they took between twenty and thirty prisoners, and the rest fled into the woods and made their escape, and we saw all the prison- ers come bv our houses all tied together. It wrs about a hundred miles from us where they were taken, and they were going to London, which is about fifteen miles from us, and they were all obliged to walk, it was an awful sight. My dear sister and brother, I am now going to tell you, we have left the place that we first went to, and am come back fifteen miles nearer Delaware, and live under a gentlemen by tlie name of ^fr. Seabrook. Wc are living in his cottage, near his house ; aiid lliciiHrd works for him constiint ; nnd we are about a uiile from Delaware ; and tncre is a church in Dela- ware, aiul we have a very good minik^ter, I thank tiie Lord, he lives about a huiulred yards frcjin \vs. Here is a great n;any l>'.ngliijh people about here, but there is but one tluit I ever knew before I lelt England, that is Mrs. Peacock, Amelia C'(,wper, at Frightfold, as was, I often see her, she lives in Delaware. And 1 hope, my dear sister, that you will be happy about us. And v. e send all our kind love to aunt Mariti, and uncle Keen, hiid ad the family, and all our dear relations and frieiuls. And now, my dear sister, I am going to tell you that 1 was confined the 2^3rd. June, with a little son, and his name is George, he is now six months old. My dear sister, we have fowls and pigs ; and I hope, if we live till the spring, we shall be able to get us a cow, if it please God Me have our health. And I hope v.e shall soon hear from you. And Sarah, and AA'illiam, and Jiannah, and Henry, and Richard, and JClizabcth, and George, and myself, and Ricliard, all send our best respects and kind love to you all, my dear sister and brother, and dear little Harriet and Ann. So wc remain your loving sister and brother, FRANCES & RICHARD PULLING. And now my dear mother, I take with pleasure my pen hi hand to write to you, and I hope it will find you all well, as thank God it leaves us all at present. xVnd \\e received i both your lottors, aiul \vc were very sorry to hoar t!i;it our jioor brother \Vllli:vm wiis ao I'll, but I Jiope he is spared, for the «:i!p Duma, sent out hj t/ic PetwortU Lor.Jimitce* West FJaniborouglij Jummry I'th. 1839. Dear Uncle and Aunt, We rcceivetl your kind letter on the I2tli. of thi.s month, and am happy to hear yo:i h;ive luafh- up vou.- niiniis to come to America. We are aU enjoyimr ir,H,t| liealth I am happy to say, and pleased to hear you are the same. I can assure you it will be much better here tor vou tijan at home. I sent you a very bad account of the countrv in my first let- ter, as every tliini,' was very dear; since then provisions ;,,v much cheaper. We felt it more, havini.- no honu> to comi, to, and no means; but this will not be the case with you you will have a honie to come to, until vou can i^ot one, and some friciuls to converse with. I nnist tell you we are re- moved 20 miles nearer home, and we like the country much better ;_ it has more the appearance of home. Now, mv dear friends, as reiriirds what you sav about irrand father a„d mother comiiiir o,it. father and m )ther says it will be bv no means advisable for them to come, as Me 'think the vovaire far too nuieh for f^randmother ; aiid also, as the Anuricans are particular in hirintr young able men, we fear .£,n-an(lfather would not do well by coming out ; we snould all be happy to see them, it would to me be a pleasure above any. I hope Billy and AT ary Ann ^^■\\\ help them as far as 'they can Give my kn.d love to liilly and Mary Ann, and am sorry they should be angry at my not writing to them. I thou-ht ]f T wrote to one, it would be the same. Believe me niv feeling is towards him the same as ever. We are only four thousand miles from ea(;h otiier. Now, my dear friends as regards your coming out, I think from your letter you mean what you say ; as regards the v/ages I named, is not in the harvest, but all the year on. Uncle will find himself at liberty, and will bo able to smoke his i)ipe every night, with a glass of whiskey. Tobacco is one shilling per pcnnid and you, my dear Aunt, can have two shillings per day' and board. The women here will not work, they are so lazy \o\x need not be afraid of employment, thev are making new roads all through the country, and a few miles from us is a canal digging, which will last seven years ; they get four shillings per day.

When T say stays are not worn, they are not used so much as afe home, I fear a stay-maker' would not do well. We caimot'persuade grandfather and mother to come, as they are too far advanced in years , we had one old lady on board, and she sufl'ered so much from the voyage, she was not expected to live when we left the ship ; we should not be doing right to advise them to come, we know the diffi- culty of so long a voyage. - (iive our kind love to them and we truly hope they will do well. If you have a small trifle to give them, pray do it, and we will pay you as soon as you get here. Now, my dear friends, if you do come, which we sincerely hope you will, will you bring these few articles I am about to name, if you have the means, and I will pay you as S(;on as you get here. The lirst7or me, a full size cottage tuscan bonnet, about ](is. ; next, a neat muslin dress, at 12 or 14 shillings; next, 8 yards of brown irish, for father's round frock ; 3 pair of cIol's at Is. ; here ^is no pattens in this country. ^^ ill |you aiso bring 3 pounds of small shot, as it is very large here, and a fcM' ballads for the boys, as they wish to icMrn to sing, ;\nd a few rubbit%.ires, as here is a great many rabhita here. AVill vou go to Mrs. in the North ^itreet, for my bonnet, and say it is for me. Bring no axe, buy no tools, you can buy them much cheaper here. Should any gentleman call on you by the name of <>' near — vei.-[)eeting your coming out, as he haveadaughtir coming out to her sister, they live near us and are very respectable. I often take tea with them. I luimed your coining out, and she wished her sister to come with you. I am not certain of his calling, if he should, you can answer h;m the ship you intend to come by. You niust be careful with the children, and not undress them at night, it will be very cold on board. Mother desires you will keep your circumstances private in the ship, as there are people always encpiiring what means you have, and what you intend doing when y\.u get here. N. B. you will get 'J5s. to the pound here. Now my dear friends these are the directions as we ar^ removed, West Flamborough, near I^undas, Upper Canada, North America. Now a few words to . My dear ?Jiss , I see from my aunt's letter, my poor dear aunt Kate is still uncomfortably situated. Father and mother sav, if she can .^m^-m: HIKWW "^pi 1 'i 1*2 make up her mind to come mit to us, she will do niucli better and depend upon a home mitil she cu„ get one : . the hovs, with Em. y. and myself particularly desire she will co.ne out with Aunl— -J ,t she cannot make up her mind to come I hope she wdl write to us.
