I. Dear Sir,— Irwell, 13th October, 1902. I will send to you on Wednesday sixty sacks of flour. The fifteen sacks you sent me have arrived. Ido not know yet how I will act in regard to the Millers' Association. They have— or, rather, Trapnell, one of them, has—threatened to make prices so low that if done will either force me in or shut my mill for a time, as at the price of wheat I cannot sell less than £10 10s., off. He, Trapnell, says the association are going to help him to run me off. However, I will let you know as soon as I can how it will affect me. Yours, &c, Mr. F. Williams. Geo. Heslop. Is there plenty Lake of the Woods in Christchurch ?

J. Dear Sir, — Irwell, 13th December, 1902. I enclose you statement of account for the flour delivered by Mr. Evans. The association has requested me to come down and pay it, less 2J per cent, for cash. I will call and see you on Wednesday next re this. Had I been a day longer in asking them to deliver it to you it would have cost £29 more. So if you will give me a little for expense I will be so glad, as I have bad my troubles. However, Mr. Williams, I will see you. Did you send for the Lake of the Woods ? After I got Elder to telephone to you I wrote, but got no answer from you, and have wondered if you got my letter. Yours, &c., Mr. F. Williams. Geo. Heslop.
