Dear Ma, Pa and Ruth.

I received your letter today. It has been cooler here today. There sure hasn’t been much rain here in Halifax since I came here. We are still here a[?] lodge and [?]; that means we are staying here at Stadacona I. It is a good thing because it sounds like it is pretty hard to get a good place to stay. I went to the show here at Stadacona I tonight. I wasn’t a very good picture this time. I guess the apples are starting to get ripe now. Did you get lots of raspberries this time? Are there many bears this time? Has Axel Mort been around since we left? We are working every day. I haven’t been out anywhere this week. I got a letter from Art today too. I am ok. I hope Ma, Pa and Ruth that you are all ok. Well that is all for now. I will write again tomorrow. Love to all,

Rubert.
