I had a letter from Brother Bill just before we left Belg he had just come out of hospital Rube is still in hospital he will be sent to aussie as soon as they patch his arm up a bit I have not heard from Don lately he is getting plenty stouch and no time for letter writing for a time I hope his good luck sticks to him through the piece, I and Charlie had a good evening withAlic Spence before we came down here he looks farelyold on it his hair being gray makes him look older he is driving a motor lorry and they get a pretty rough spin there is not to many easy cops for a private in this caper, I had a bundle of letters from Qld (?) this mail and my Dear kiddies Photos Vera is a fine big girl now and the two little soldiers looks in the pink of health I think they will all be married before I get back well Colina we have plenty of wet cold weather today is the first time we have seen the sun for some time, I cannot tell you any more news but I wish I was (Lout?) of it as we are all well dearColina I cannot write a deacent letter here but ths is just to let you know that I am still on this little Boll of mud but I wish I was on the aussie mud it would do for my (cut?) well Dear Colina this will conclude in conclusion may this letter carry to you the very best wishes that I can send from far away across the sea fare the well but not good bye
