harry Mcdonald writes
characteristic letter
Harry McDonald, who has a long
established reputation among old-
timers of Heppner as a philosopher !
and dreamer of dreams, writes tho
following characteristic letter to his
old friends, Tommy Brennan:
Friend Tom:
Thought I would drop you a few
lines just to let you know that I am
still living and as active a3 a cat.
I took this1 job and composed my
mind to deep study on the 10th of
last November and I have finally
worked myself up to that point that
I cannot get any higher at present
for the reason that I am up against
a snowbank. I am located 11 miles
from Joe Hayes' on the north prong
of Butter creek and if its the same
good lord that has charge of things
here and in Heppner he must 'have a
grudge against this part ofthe coun
try. For more than two months the I
wind has blew so hard it blowed off
stove pipes and chimney tops. Th? ;
house shalces like a leaf on a treo '
and I shake with fear, afraid that I :
will come to an untimely end before
I get to pay my income tax. If I
ever get back to America again I will
never, never leave good old America
again. Whenever I can get back
overland I start. I guess I will stay
here through lambing so I can pay
Mac Clark and Henry Archer what I
owe them. Of course we will fix c.p
what I owe you all right you look
at me, I'll look at you, we're both
mind readers or, I might say, philo
sophers. I hope all the Heprner
boys are home. I hear Ray Rogers
Is home. Give my bestf regards to
Mac Clark and Joe Williams. Ihopc
to quench their thirst some time. I
only made two gaions but Its sure
strong.
Your old friend,
harry Mcdonald
