We have had beautiful weather here for the
month I have been here but I have a hunch
its going to be pretty cold this winter. if
we get lots of coal for our grate it wont
be so bad.

We are just one mile from Newport the
principal town of the island a town of
about five thousand people. but the streets
are very narrow and every body walks
in the middle of the road. and the people
here are just like the people we get out in
Canada.

I have not met anyone yet and
there are very few nice looking girls around
and I dont hardly think I can [go there?].

Princess Beatrice gave some of our men
the medals won on the field the other day.

Well Aut I must go down to mess so with
best love. to All Brother Harry.

Aut. Find out the price of saccayrine tablets
to put in your tea or coffee. They cost 50c per
hundred over here
