and restaurants, which no doubt make quite a profit and 
     
     are kept up mainly by the soldiers of the Sussex camp 
     
     which is located about a mile from the town. The camp 
     
     has quite a nice situation, heavily wooded hills on the 
     
     three sides and a little river on what we on P.E.l. would 
     
     call a creek along the west and separating it from the 
     
     town. As the weather was wet and the soil heavy and 
     
     sticky, we were not sorry to leave there, particularly as 
     
     some of the tents were without floors and many of them 
     
     leaky. Friday Sept. 29th saw us leaving Sussex at 9 
     
     o'clock in the morning. Rather wet too, but the train was 
     
     comfortable and served good meals, quite a change from 
     
     what we had been accustomed to. 
     
    
   
   
    
     We had a slow though a not unpleasant trip and not 
     
     till the next day at 3 p.m. did we reach Montreal. From 
     
     the first I was much impressed with its size and the many 
     
     fine buildings also Mount Royal and many other points 
     
     ofinterest. We remained there only about 2 hours and 
     
     were not allowed to leave the cars. Could not see Uncle 
     
     Monty1 so was very reluctant to leave without seeing him 
     
     as our train was late he made several trips to the station 
     
     and thought we had gone without stopping. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Left Montreal about 3 o'clock and passed several 
     
     points worth noticing along the way. This is a very nice 
     
     country CPR and it is the nicest since leaving P.E.l. , but 
     
     have seen no farming country yet to equal ours. At 
     
    
   
   
    
     I Uncle Monty was a brother of my grandmother Catherine (Stephens) Macdonald., He was a 
     
     member of a religious order located in Montreal.
