My dearest Mother & Sisters.
Have just heard that Sister Murray is leaving for Australia at 9. a.m. so will try & scribble a few lines for you. She can post it in Australia for me.
Well, I'm in bed have been ill since Friday but am doing splendidly Col. Maudsley is very attentive but will not let me get up yet & then have to go to Alexanderia for a week. So you see I've scored a holiday. Our little trip to Alexanderia last week was stopped through my little sickness, we were very disappointed. What I shall do without Con. Murray I don't know, she has been so good to me & been to see me every time she was off duty, bringing me all my necessary things. I hope you will have an opportunity of thanking her for her goodness to me. She has that parcel still, so you will receive it in due time.
Poor Sister Craig has been very ill with Typhoid Fever but is much better & improving fast, she has had a very bad time. Sister Murray's sister is in our ward she has had throat
