Later 26.12.14. We arrived at Colombo 6 PM this evening we are not to go ashore till tomorrow. Will probably be going up to Kandy. Was delighted to get a batch of letters at 10 this evening, amongst them five from your own dearself including those addressed to Melbourne Adelaide & Fremantle. I was pleased to hear that there was no cause for the scare that worried you – I was a bit nonplussed how to advise you in the matter – but your next letter telling me that all was well was a great relief. If you get troubled worried like that again while I am away you had better see a doctor. Poor old Mrs. – 'magination of course. Thanks very much for the letter telling me all about the garden. I was delighted to hear that you were all so well. I also had letters from Alfred Davidson, Mother, Aunt Sara, Cassie, Frank, Mr. Gillespie & Mr Slade. The latter wrote a very nice letter but I can't forget the way Mrs Slade spoke to me when I went to say good bye to them.
