Chairman running all the Offices, no more House of Assembly or Election until they get Nfld on its legs & I guess that will take some time nearly a quarter of the people are living on Dole & its not possible for our Lab'd people to make a living price of fish is so small, so I guess we must keep going & hope for better times. Hope your Family are keeping well your son must be a big fellow now I should think he would like another summers cruise on Labrador, but not with a companion like Jerrett. Fred is keeping well we hear from him often he says you have had a hard winter at New York he has had his married sister up with him for a month. I cannot think of anything else to tell you so must wish you & yours good health also kind regards from your old friend Moses Bartlett
