2 Dear mama Its June The advertisement that Laurier made was a success more and more people have travelled to Canada to settle. Me and the kids are planning to travel to Port Coquiltam which is in the west it sounds like a very good community. We are planning to take the train there and hopefully find a place to settle down. My Wife has talked with some traders and they say the area is very good for trading and they also have a large variety. Just Last year the First Wireless message was sent across the Atlantic. The message that I heard was the letter S sent from Newfound Land but I'm not sure it what Town. Isn't that amazing in a couple of years we will probably be connecting by Morse ode this will be awesome I will be able to talk to you and you will be able to talk to me with ought spending all that money to travel but the down side is I wont see your face. Oh I wonder if you guys have automobiles they are quit expensive over here they can go up to as much as $825 that really expensive I have only seen a few of them out on the streets. I hope you write back and I will tell you how it is going. Dobra Noc 165B Polanska Sczeczin, Poland 1c3 3b5

4 Dear Wujek Vojtek Its May Its over My father is dead my mother is dead I cant stop crying I have had bad days at work I accidentally cut my hand with the bayonet on the end of my gun it hurt so much and I almost got fired so now I am at home sobbing in both pain and sorrow. In your last letter you told me they died from tuberculosis which is a disease that affects the lungs and my parents stopped breathing and that’s how they died like you said. I am completely heart broken and you are my next person to talk to about my life so throughout the next postcards I will be talking to you about my life here in Canada and I hope you would like to come here and visit us. To touch up on my life we are planning to move to Port Coquitlam just West from here. Me and my family are taking a train there and I will write to you when I am leaving for this new land. I will write back soon. Czeiscz 3264 Wywbrzynka Sczeczin, Poland 1b6 4c5

6 Dear Wujek Voitek In November We where on the train just a couple of minutes ago and I found a post office to send this to you. During out train ride you could see all the vast forests and people hauling there goods to the train to be moved out to the Town of Port Coquitlam. Also you could see the wild life and the hunting that is going on during the ride. The buffalos running away from hunters on horses. We are going to have a hard time to get new land even though we sold our old land back at the red river now we are trying to purchase a area of land that will accommodate our needs. We will have to live on the land for about 3 years for that land to become ours this will take a while but is better for the future of me and my wife and Marius. And speaking of Marius he just became a member of the NWMP this is ginormous step in his life he also earned us more money and this gives us more money for food and farming supplies. I hope to write to you soon Witamy z Kanady 3264 Wywbrzynka Sczeczin, Poland 1b6 4c5

8 Dear Wujek Voitek Its January 1914 We have arrived in Port Coquitlam we waiting one more year for our confirmation of owning the land it’s a beautiful area with lots of fertile land and it has lots of room away from neighbors. To add to that we just had an incident called that Komagata Maru a Japanese steam ship that was denied entry into Canada because it made a stop and then there was a confrontation between the police and the troops near Kolkata when they were returning to India. This was a very stress full for the settlers because to see our us fighting against each other. And it made me feel very unsafe with me working at the NWMP and its not as easy to settle down with so many events happening. Right now in my farm land I am growing wheat this can be sold for allot of money because of the high demand for it. Who you may ask is running this my beautiful wife she has the guts to do it and she will do anything to help us. And also be aware of your surrounding Wujek because Canada has declared an international war is on the verge out break. Hope you write back 3264 Wybrzynka Sczeczin, Poland 1b6 4c5
