Dear Sis –
A few lines to let you know that I am getting along fine. I am at Sussex N.B. now. I was on board a ship at Halifax N.S. for 13 days but something went wrong with the engines and the convoy pulled out without us so they shipped us back to Sussex to wait around here for ___ knows how long. We just got here early this morning.
There was a ship burned in the harbor a couple of docks from us Fri. night and I was uptown in Halifax the other night. I always heard that it was quite a city but from what I seen there is nothing there. How is everyone down that way and have you seen anything of Dad lately ? Well, I can’t think of any more right now so will close for now. Write soon.
Love, Allan
