Dear Herbert & Jess
We are at present on our way to Fremantle & are at present 2 days out from Melbourne. We left Melbourne Thusday at midday after stopping there 3 days but we were not given much leave only about 1 day. While in Melbourne I visited Mrs Ludlow with a lady friend. Rita Nicholson, that girl I used to write to. She made us welcome & we had supper there & left at 10 pm because I had to be back on the transport at 10.30. I am Mess orderly on the Boat, that is I serve out all the tucker & carve the joint for 30 men only. All the fellows put 6d each in a week so that I am on a good wicket.
