Description / Synopsis
Letter - Mrs. George Brown writes of her life as a war bride coming to Athabasca following World War I. She speaks of assisting Dr. Meyer with nursing duties and her many domestic chores. Mrs. Brown recounts the time a "poorly dressed " man in "ragged breeches, torn shirt and bright pink hankie tied around his neck, "showed up at her door to berate her, "if you have a mother why don't you write to her?" This was a Northwest Mountie from Edmonton sent by her parents to find Mrs. Brown as her letters had never arrived in England and they thought she was "at the bottom of the ocean" (3 pages) |
