To My own darling, Sherrie, Christmas, 1941.

Just a little gift which has travelled 

1000's of miles & which carries with it

a wealth of Love to the best, prettiest, 

and sweetest wife in the whole World.

I want you to be as Happy as possible 

sweetheart, this Christmas, knowing that 

I'll be with you & Junior early in the 

New Year.

Captain Dark, our Voyage officer 

very kindly offered to post this parcel

to you when he returned to Sydney. 

All my love Sherrie darling. I'm quite 

well & love & miss you more than ever.

At Sea 21 - Nov. 41.                

I bought this scent on the ship, dear. So 

it has both a sentimental & a souvenir 

value.

The photos on the front of the box have 

a meaning, darling. You are supposedly 

holding Junior in your arms, whilst 

I proudly await my turn to have a nurse.

We expect to reach our port of 

disembarkation very soon dear.

Thanks darling for Christmas cake, 

it was very thoughtful of you to send

it with me & I won't open it until 25 Dec.

God bless you Darling. All my love  Frank xxxx

[*PS The Eau de Cologne is to 

be sprinkled on your nightie in
