My dear Mother Father & Sister

We are two or 3 days from one of the great continents, it will be pleasant to feel the solid earth under our feet. At these Ports restrictions are imposed upon our men - very necessary too, for instance all the hotels are closed, Australians have anything but a good name, New Zealanders you will be glad to hear have a good name & reputation - not so our men. There was trouble with earlier transports, the men took charge & painted things red.
