Our friend at Shediac has placed at our disposal two letters received by him last week from acquaintances in Victoria, Vancouver Island. " ... All the boys who came out together are here (in Victoria) except Charles PERKINS who is in Washoe doing very well. We are all going up this Spring, that is CLINCH, ANDERSON, WEBSTER and myself. WEBSTER has a half interest in a Saw Mill on William's Creek..." From the other letter - " I went up to Cariboo last Spring in company with Henry SEELYE of St. George (Charlotte Co.) N.B. and Henry HOWE of San Jose and Mr. FAIRWEATHER of Penobsquis (Kings Co.) N.B. We left Victoria 27th April in the steamer for Westminster ... Mr. HANNAY, one of your old Railway conductors keeps a grocery store there .... ANDERSON from Sussex came down with that crowd.. There must be at least 100 New Brunswickers in this country.
