Dear Miss Flemming,

Affixed to a tin

of sweets (particularly nice ones, too) the

enclosure reached me today. Rather late

for Xmas greetings to come along (!) but

none the less welcome. I wish to take

the opportunity of thanking one of the

great band of our dear Australian

womenfolk, the products of whose

unselfish efforts have been of inestimable

delight to all of we boys. You will

be, perhaps, pleased to know, that

the resources of the Red Cross Society here

in Egypt have been a wonderful help

to the various hospitals inasmuch as the

Society has provided innumerable comforts

& necessities to wounded & sick men,

which the hospitals were themselves unable 

to supply. I need only say that we

all feel the greatest appreciation of

the thoughtfulness of you all & we trust

 

2

trust that we have been, in some

small way, able to maintain the

name of our dear old Australia

in return for it all.

My thanks to yourself and

may the New Year (it is still quite

a young one!) hold all sorts of good

luck & happy days for you.

Yours very sincerely

L. P. Curnow.
