Dear Sis:
A few lines to find out how you are getting along. I have moved again this time to the Lancaster Hospital in St. John, N. B. with Scarlet Fever. I am feeling okay now though. I have been here since a week ago last Thursday. I had a temperature of 104 F when I came here.
I have got a nice scenery out of the window here. I can see the reversing falls in the St. John’s river. When the tide is going out there is a falls of about eight feet and when it is coming in the water gets high enough that it flows the other way.
How is everyone around Dresden getting along? Have you seen anything of Dad lately? They tell me that I have got to stay here for 6 weeks altogether.
Well I must close for now. Hurry up and write.
Love Allan
