"I want to thank you for your letter of the 11th instant and regret the delay
in replying. I take it that you are a student in school and that you have
been making yourself acquainted with Canada and particularly the Province of
Saskatchewan. I note that you have obtained some information with regard to our
population and the size of the province. Enclosed you will find an
autographed picture of myself and also a biographical sketch. You have asked for
the names and addresses of former Lieutenant Governors who are still
living. The only ones that I know of who are still living, are the Honourable
W.J. Patterson, of Regina, Saskatchewan, and the Honourable Frank L. Bastedo,
who now resides in Victoria, British Columbia. May I thank you for your most
interesting letter and your good wishes. Yours sincerely". Enclosures not

the Canadian House of Commons as a Progressive Conservative candidate in
