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 [?] lodge and canals; 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. It 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 pears this time? Has Axel [?] 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 O.K. I hope Ma, Pa and Ruth that you are all O.K. Well that is all for now. I will write again tomorrow.

Love to all,

Rubert.
