lately. We are just preparing for the winter. Men who have been here thro' a winter say they have never been so cold anywhere. The rains come in about a month but we had some a few days ago, the 1st for 7 months. It makes the ground like the Black soil of N.S.W. & you cart away half an acre on each foot.
I have just started to use the scarf you gave me & it will be a very precious possession through the winter here.
I see they have got a new Head at T.K.S. [The King's School] I am jolly glad as I never thought Waddy was the man for the position in spite of all the booming he got.
Am asking Montague Stephen to forward this letter as I forget your address. Wishing you a merry Christmas & a happy New Year.
Yours sincerely
C.A. Verge
