Darling Rene,
Hullo honey today is Tues
and I have a couple of letters to answer.
The one today is 39. I will answer that
the other you already know I have, but as
it is now nighttime & I am under my mossie
net with the lantern outside I won't, as you
were Yes I will, I have it No 38 coming up
How are you anyhow do you love me?
Sorry to hear honey you were sick, I know
right well what its like, I 'member when I
was going to school, at nights I often used
to be bilious and trying to be sick with
nothing in your stomach is worse than as
we but it being sick,
Should be OK if you can buy the baby
bath, I'd reckoned on that one as being
among the list of neci?ssities
I think I could just about name the
place where Ken is going to, I reckon
he will be about 20 miles from me.
Trust you to tie up on everything in 

XX
readiness, If I know you, you have a detailed
list of articles required to buy, to take
Once again as the fellows here would say
You've got to have the gear.
Seem to be having some real tropical
weather down there at present, not so good
Yes and you can bet your sweet life I'm
loving some. and as for comfort well I
guess thats one other thing we need each other
for, and just being together is all we need
to complete it.
I say though there are enough bludgers
down at W_ already without me
going there, not that I'd spend
much time on the premises, those
fellows that are there don't know how
fortunate they are.
Thank GD.J for the good wishes and
you my darling wife I love, all the
time I love you, Sweet messages of
love I bring to you, you'r on my
mind, my thoughts, the whole day through
Send so I know just how & where you are
I cant see you, but I know-that your my
Star!

That completes no 38, honey so here's 39
coming up.
Please though thank mum for her page
sent with your 38, and yes you can also
tell her the following, Firstly that "in
her condition" she needs to eat, and
secondly she believes in voicing her
opinions, also they're pretty good too
Thirdly if she were here she'd have to
walk 'bout a half an mile each morning
to attend the sick Parade as everybody
crook must go see the doc to get out of
work,
So there's a pink enamel bath, "What for?
to wash my tonsils in, Wash my feet in!!
We don't wash our feet here we put
them out to air Wed & Sat.
Yes I know you are there to look after
her otherwise I'm afraid I'd be worried
half to death, Thank you mum you'll
do me,
Yep I sure would like to be mixing
cement for pop again, reminds me
of Simpsons place, well no cement.

Well now honey wife tis getting on for twelve
oclock and I was up at four this morning
so I am slowly loosing my daylight sense,
With all that in view and determining to
get this letter away with the morning's mail
Ill leave 39 and beat a hurried retreat to
the pillow.
Night then honey wife all my love for you
and God take care of you and keep you safe
for me, to love me as I love you
Forever
Colin
