Brass*

Been around on Patrol, saw *Brass Cartridge Cases & dead Camels on the ground of old fights.

I was glad to get all the Home News ere this you will all be in Melbourne.

Foster Rutledge is the C.O. of Flying Corps here but I've never met him.

[The following paragraph crossed through]
How strange that old Sir Sam should go to CANADA at his time of life.

Hard as it may seem I cannot possibly see poor JOE could leave you all, I know I have the best of it, still he knows he is doing his job. I note dear old Day is sending me some SOKS. Thanks for information re Bank quite RICH I am & get more pay as Major 30/- a day now.
