| Transcript | Lower newcastle NB Feb 5 1903 Mr. G. McCarthy Well old man it is nearly time that I answered your letter well we are back in the bush today but I have not worked for ten days I have been down to the valley for several days I had the pleasure of Seeing your intended she looks fine and plump as a robins breast the folk in the valley are just as kind and livly as ever I spent the last day and night of January at your fathers house they are all in good condition then I went back to the mill there are 26 men in all just as fine fellows as ever were in one crowd I [unclear] been trying to get to the Island but the Steamers are all Stuck in the ice and I cannot get across the straits so I have to be contented to wait an until communication opens again I am not able to work nor I donot want to work I have a chance to go to work at the place that hog used to be in on the Island at [Bricks] the new mill is doing big chopping of Squarers 2 horses cannot keep her clear at eight [hours] per day and the boss has Sold all the Slabs to the pulp factory I hear at one dollar per cord I think he never had such a Chance to pile up the dollars and I am glad for he is using me like a brother since I took this kink in the guts |
