I have two letters in my possession one written in Sep 1873 and one in Jan 1874. He was English and employed working on a farm milking 140 cows and the owner used the milk to make cheese in his own factory and he also purchased milk from farms in the surrounding district. His address on one of the letters is c/o John Adams, Ingersoll, Ontario. The writer of the letter also says that he has purchased a farm of 50 acres with good buildings and a splendid orchard which he had rented out for 3 years at 40 pounds a year and was continuing to work for the farmer. He had left his wife in England as she was mentally unwell. Possible name W Fletcher? Any info would be great. Thanks
