My dear Mother
Have just heard that there is an Australian mail going in a few minutes. I sent you a registered parcel yesterday; when you receive it open it & fumigate it well before touching it.
The table cloth is for you, the links for Father and the studs for Aunt Katie & the boys if you think they can be devided.
I am afraid that the things are not much but I could not see anything more useful so sent these along. If the set of studs should not be broken give them to one boy & I'll send the others something else later on.
I have 24 views of lovely Alexandria; will send them next mail: will send the films to the boys. Hope you got the other photos I sent.
Am having a jolly good time here. Will write to you next week. Hope you get the parcel & like the things. There is nothing to pay on it – it goes duty free.
Love to Father & the boys. Suppose they are home now on holidays.
Don't forget to fumigate the parcel. The cloth is hand worked & guaranteed to wash.
Your loving son
Rob.
