Charley boys & Ivan MacD. but they have all gone. They had shows of getting to Batteries & really it would have been criminal to have held them back. I could get but the O.C. has been damned decent to me. I like & know him so I'll hang on for a little. Maybe we'll both get off together some day soon. I think I'll knock off. You must forgive me if its dull but I feel dead dopey tonight & its a pity. I am very well & if I weren't I'd be all right as I've made friends with the medical people here. One chap is rather decent & has the most gorgeous golden red hair & is very musical.
Its a beautiful country really. I don't know how long we are here for or where we will go to next. I hope you get my letters. I have received all yours up to 17 (11th June & Mac's too).
Well I must go its too dark to see & I'm turning in. My love to the Boss & Graham & Mac & all the people around. I didn't know Mrs. Westmacott had left Australia. She'd be glad. I wonder if he would be. Aren't they weird. Bon soir. Ma chere Madame.
Always yours as ever,
Jim Wilkie
