Brisbane Saturday 13th
Dear Mother
I just heard that we are going direct to England. It is pretty correct I think too. That will be O.K. won't it? I do not know if you will get this, if the Censor sees it you won't, but I am relying on "INFLUENCE" again.
You had better address all letters to Vic Barracks & they will forward them on to me. Are leaving here tonight for Colombo I think, so should have plenty of time to write during that time.
Must cease now to get this away. Much love to allAlan
