I'll be quite content to carry on with my "bob-a-day" & let you collect the Balance for your use @ Gladesville. I ought to have be<s>en</s>tween £10 - 12 in credit by the time my leave comes thro. - next month, God willing - so I feel content @ that. . . Can't compree the reticence of our relatives in Melb. in not writing to you. Might mention that Aunts Soph. & Maggie are the only ones who write @ all frequently to me. Aunt Ciss of course sent the big & expensive parcel & Aunts Jean & Em, also Alice write now & again. Don't know whether they all expect weekly letters from me, but if they do, they can "wash" it right out of their minds, because I am here to "Box on" & am not in a "cushy" Base job or one in England. . . Yes, we now know all about the Ref., it's result & why. Oh that we here could have had the truth B4 the poll! Hughes has certainly shown that Democracy & the welfare & future of the people is not on his programme. It seems as tho. his nose rubbing in the "Big Smoke" with L. George has turned his head to just the very thing we "Aussies" as a democratic community (or as near as we can get to that grand state @ present) are up against. You know to what I refer? Yes, I --- ism. . . Oo-la-lah!! What a victory for No! How does "Little Willy" feel on it now & <u>why</u> can't he & his crew be imshee'd out, lock, stock & barrel & made to stick to their pledge - a resignation if defeated? It is certainly strange, the "works-in-a-wheelbarrow" of present day "[Gad?] bagging parliamentarians & I'm sure frazzled to read of such carryings-on. How much longer can such a Party remain in Power after such a clean-cut public opinion against them? . . Thanks for your a/c., I now see thro. the proposal to send "Andy" Fisher to Washington as an "Aussie" Ambassador, & give his London job to M<sup>rs</sup>. H. I wondered @ the time I first read of it what could be in the wind. . Thanks for the N/P. clipping you sent, headed: "A Secret Document" - it has enlightened me very much I can assure you & I'll watch with interest the developments that are pending. . Ah well, you're having your bothers too, so let's hope that all will soon be "jake" again. In conclusion (& the hour is late) let me send you my best Love & Wishes & the hopes that best of health, spirit & prosperity is with you & all our friends & relatives in "Aussie". Till I write "sum-mor", Good Night & Good bye-ee. God be with you & bless you. I am ever your loving son & bro Harrie xxx</p>
