NotesIn the book, Yesterday and Today in Canada, c1910 a letter from Sidney Rowe is published which mentions Percy:

Morden, Man, Dear Mr. Owen, - Well, I must tell you all about my situations. First, I worked for a bachelor for a years, who taught me to cook. Then I went to a neighbor and worked for him for four years and when my time was up I stayed another year for $140. Then I went up west, where my chum, Percy Gregg, is now. I did not like it there. I returned back on the farm for another year for $185. I like the country fine. It can't be beat. If you can't find anything to do, boys, come to Canada. You will find lots on the farm. I am working for Mr. Thos. Ball, the same old boss. I came out in 1901 and intent to stay in Canada. Your sincere friend, Sidney Rowe (20)
