letter, p. 3

3.d nothing. I cannot rely on one of them. I have a letter
from Paddy Jeffrey which I am at last about to answer. There is
one thing I may say to hime, and anyone else who think of coming here.

It would be very foolish to take any but a subordinate job at first:
- No fellow ought take a job which involves handling men until he
has observed the Conditions here. In Ireland it seems necessary to kick
men around to get them to work. Here it is very different. Your work is as
good as you are & is to be treated socially as an equal. By subordinate
job I mean Chainman or Roadman. 35 - 45 per month & all
expenses. Transitman may well get about 60. Res.... 100 - 150.
All expenses are paid all even by the Company.

You mention Burke in your letter. I don't
remember him, but he calls on me on .. at Montréal & misses me. He
is with C.P.R. I think Roadman somewhere within 50 miles of Montréal
