Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. Hafner tells her he wrote to his father and told him neither he nor Hafner's mother will be blamed for how his brother Joseph has acted. He tells Chandler he is guarded about giving information to his parents about her because she is so special to him. Hafner expresses that Tarpon Springs is an awful place due to the number of people sick with typhoid fever. He suspects the water they get their ice from and put in their drinks is impure even though people claim otherwise. The ice factory broke down, so they all must drink warm rain water. He tells Chandler she is the one thing that gives him strength to persevere, and he thanks her.
