sion. He and his mother live here in
Kinmount, and you can address their let-
ters to the Post Office, but you had better
point out that they are from Akureyri
because they might have namesakes among
the Icelanders. They are poor but not in
debt, and look very neat and tidy. At first
Thorsteinn worked for a merchant, but
now is in roadbuilding. Benedikt is a farm-
hand, he is supposed to have 14 Canadian
dollars a month. Ingibjorg worked as a
maid (up north) for Canadians until this
week - when she came south here to
Toronto. I just took her to a place where
she will work as a maid. She is to have 6-7
dollars a month. These people were friends
of my father's in Iceland and - as a favour
to him -1 am glad to be able to assist them.
Yesterday, I got a letter from I.
Olafsson proving what you had told me
about him, praise the Lord.
I hope to be able to send you a report
about Icelanders here, living and dead.
Best wishes from me and my wife to
you and your wife.
Yours,
Fridjon FriSriksson
