My Dear Fred,

I am starting today pick + shovel to work on the top ditch for sewer pipe at Macaulay Point.

Having endeavoured for months past to get position in City Hall + other places with no better results than promises, have been compelled to reduce myself to the lowest type of laborer.

Our existence down here has not been like a home for some time, having not only any money to purchase food but the accompanying

[2]

Ill effects arising there from being almost unbearable.

The Major Ald Porter + McLandless have spoken to me very nicely + especially Alex Stewart, but I seem to have no luck whatever,  Morwikc also has promised one, but at present is doing nothing.

I saw you the other day by Spencers’ when I was with Morwick but could not leave him to speak to you suddenly + when I left him you had disappeared, much as I wanted to talk to you.

Will you kindly help me by sending down a little food to tide over until I have worked four days please,

Your affect’t

Herbert M Pauline.
