My dear Mother.
How are you all. What did you do on empire day, I had great fun. I went to school from 9.15 till 10.30 and Mr Scott-Fell came and preached to us, he said we ought to be proud of our empire as it is such a great one then he explained the flag to us. Then Mrs Denyer unfurled our school flag and we formed up in a doble sqar with the top side open and s[aluted?] the flag.
The I went to the shop and got a flag. Uncle Fre gave me sick pence for it. In the dfle evening the Felarah folk brought over 1/3 worth of cl crackers and I had 9d worth, and Aunt B and the tow [indecipherable] and Miss Honber came up to sea it. I got the shirt and it fits very nicely. I break up on june 20th and have about 3½ weakes June 20th is Thirsday.
So shall I come up by thirsday night train or Fridays day. I should wrather the night. Have you had any rain lately. I am going to Par[ramatta] in a drag to wach thee football mach against Kings School.
