A lovely 1910 (postmarked November 9, 1910 ) view of Main Street in Kindersley Saskatchewan.  The Seymour Hotel is the large building on the left. Only a year before, this corner of Kindersley was still open prairie—making the Seymour’s arrival a symbol of the town’s rapid transformation. 
The hotel lot was purchased in 1909 for $1,200, and by the spring of 1910 the Seymour was open, offering rooms at $2 a night. Perhaps the sender could have used the comfort of one of those $2 rooms. 

"Dear M,
Will not leave here until about 10 o’clock tonight. That means another night no bed. Has been a very long day around here with nothing to do.
I suppose you have received the Apples by now. If you put them in the pantry you can put them down cellar when I come home (must not let them get frozen).
Best love from Arthur."
