Dear Mrs Simper,
I saw by the Advertiser the
other day that you and Colin became the proud
parents of a daughter, so I am penning a
few lines of congratulation to you both.
Colin was my platoon

sergeant when I was with the 43^rd in Warradale
and the Northern Territory. When you write
to him would you please convey my
congratulations to him and wish him (for
me) the best of luck and a safe return,
to you and his daughter.
Yours sincerely,
JE Shaughnessy.
