NotesIn the book Yesterday and Today in Canada, published c1910 a letter from Philip is published:

Moosomin, Sask

?I now take the great pleasure of writing you these few lines, hoping you are in as good health as it leaves me at the present. I wish the Homes every success. I have been out since 1901. I am doing well, and I am with a good farmer now, but I could go back to the place where I have worked before. I am getting to be quite a farmer, though I am a carpenter by trade. This is a fine country, and I always give it a good name. There have been lots around who do not like it, and give it a bad name. I tell them if they don?t like it to pakc their duds and get right out of it. I thank the dear old Homes for bringing me to such a good country and helping me to lead such a good life. I thank the Homes again and again a thousand times. Phillip Parkes (20)
