TORONTO, C. W., Aug.
17th, 1856.
MR. STILL: — Dear Sir — These few lines may find you as they
leave us, we are well at present and arrived safe in Toronto. Give our respects
to Mrs. S.— and daughter. Toronto is a very extensive place. We have plenty of
pork, beef and mutton. There are five market houses and many churches. Female
wages is 62½ cents per day, men's wages is $1 and york shilling. We are now
boarding at Mr. George Blunt’s, on Centre street, two doors from Elm, back of
Lawyer's Hall, and when you write to us, direct your letter to the care of Mr.
George Blunt, &c.

Heines, Henry James Morris, and Matthew Bodams.
