A word from Mother Bruyère

Mother Bruyère at her desk

June 5, 1945

Yesterday evening, I went to visit some sick immigrants who are living in miserable sheds as are the immigrants in Montreal.  I changed the dressing for a young 14 year old girl; there is nothing sadder than the condition of these poor people when they disembark.  The mother of this young girl was telling me the previous day that a man died right next to her daughter.  People are all placed helter-skelter.Mother Bruyère writing
