[Letter] 1910 September 15, Verigin [Station], Sask.

September 15, 1910 A letter from P.Verigin I advise you brothers and sisters not to feed horses with sheaves. You supposed to feed them hay and dry oats, it is wholesome to add some reska [griddlecakes made of oats and tree bark, common in Northern Russia]. If a hostler feeds a horse to death or gives it too much to drink, the price of the horse should be put down as his debt. Second. For harvesting of the community's fields, every village must send a good diligent worker. For every no-show a village will be fined 3 dollars per a man. Also carpenters, two from every village, must be present at community's work until vacation is announced. Your brother: Peter
