dreadfully sorry for them. He is such a nice, clever boy & has had so many drawbacks. It is a pity they have no more children.

I got a dreadful shock to hear of Mrs. Weir's death. It is very, very sad to think that two young mothers have left each a little family of 5 children. Funny they lived next door to each other. Terang will be a very sad place.

I'm so pleased to hear that you are all better from the Influenza. See that you all take care of yourselves & not get fresh colds. I had such a number of letters from my Vic. friends.

Ethel's & Miss Dot. Swinburne's came on Friday – Ella & Doll's, Emma's, Mrs. Osburne's & Miss Newland's I got Monday afternoon. It will just tell you how the mails are sorted here.

Thank you Al. for good-wishes & your letter arrived the day after my birthday. I'm glad to hear all my debts have been settled – now I hope Belle will, fix up the money for the birthday presents
