Dear Mary
I received your letter and paper tonight dated 28th Nov also two [?] packets of Gold Flake cigs don’t know who sent them. I got yours two or three day before. You are getting on at home a new dug & new range since I left hope I will see them sometime. Kenny Macnal just got word of his mother’s death very hard on the poor chap. We have nothing but rain here night & day since a few days too wet to go out but we have nothing to say, as yet. I wonder if Mr McLeod ever got my letter. You will soon be having Christmas holidays etc hope you will enjoy them.
No more Love to all From Dodo
Now to Betsy
