Give my kindest love to DrM. and all friends ([indecipherable]) Kind regards &c Oo

It is now only 2 years since I ws last in Melbourne the place is grown immensely - I Haven't seen anything of S- or heard of him for a long time = don't know where he is or what he is doing = No good I'll wager - I almost think I can get on best without his kind advice & assistance = Don't you think I'm coming out starting Surveyor all at once = It has cost me some little application =

Well my Dr. I must say good bye
And believe me to remain
Yr affec Jno.
