Jove! but I long to be there! .... Congrat's to Thel. on gaining the prize @ School. Guess she too will soon have enough books to start a circulating library. Keep it up! ..... Wouldn't mind giving Tarban Creek Baths a "bit of a fly" myself, tho. I'm "dead off" swimming just now owing mostly to the Wintry elements & scenes that rule here, & the "[?]" is not as "clever" as it was. . . Glad that the girls make use of those baths - there's nothing like exercise & no exercise to come near swimming. So you are to be initiated into the "Annuals" @ Elky. Good! . . Pity that the heavy rains spoilt the apricots & peaches, but it's good that Mother saved some by making jam. How nice! . . Guess you'll be able to supply small retail shops with the surplus fruit & vege's. grown @ "W'bool" & so add a little more to the Bank a/c . . .

I was always a great admirer & worshipper of natural beauties, hence my long tours to Melb., Kangaroo Valley, (via Camden, Razorback, Picton, Moss Vale, Fitzroy Falls & Barrengarry M<sup>tn</sup>., etc.) Nowra, (via Cambewarra M<sup>tn</sup>.) South Coast, Bulli Pass, Kurrajong Heights, Jenolan Caves etc. etc. Yes, the "bike", good health, & those grand scenes'll do me to admire, & I am longing for the time to come again so that I can 4get this big spasm in my life . . . It's always a great relief to know that you are all enjoying God's great blessing - good health - tho. your later letters tell me of your sudden illness & subsequent laying up. Let's hope that long ere this is handed to you, best of health will be your lot. . . Pleased that the Govt. is carrying-on with the warship building programme & that you are now prosperous. Good to know that the HMAS "Adelaide" is progressing so well, & am hoping that nothing occurs to mar the completion.
