Shall cease fire now wishing you all a Happy New Year if not too late.  Accept fondest love from

Your affectionate son
Rex

Shall be home in 6 months.

Have just come accross your old deckhand Norman Smith, he has a horrible cold & can hardly speak.

We had a long conversation about the old Tub and others, it is a snifter little watch you & the crew gave him; up till now he has been in England.  I showed him the snaps of the Bellubera & you digging up the back fence & he laughed like anything.  Am expecting some letter from home to-day as there is a big mail in. Am off for leave about Jan 20th for certain.
Rex
