Cheer-up Hut
Adelaide
​May 22nd 1919

Dear Mother,

Arrived here yesterday morning, and after having been delcared a clean ship we came up the river and berthed alongside the Ocean wharf where we were given leave to roam at our pleasure.  Made my way from Port Adelaide to Hutt Street to look up Auntie Eve and after enquiring at her late abode found out she was in Sydney, I also was invited to the house again.

Adelaide people have given us a cordial reception and are doing all in their power to make us at home.

Last night we were looking at the placards in front of "Her Majestys" when a gent came up & invited us inside giving us deux tickets.  This afternoon we all went to a matinee at the Majestic Theatre - we were invited to a dinner to-morrow, for men of the old Port and so each man went out to receive a packet of cigarettes.

I had two mess mates with me in the box we occupied and of course we had a little attention from the stage - to-morrow​ the party with whom I was interested could hardly play her part through laughing and at the end she would not look till she had finished her part - to-morrow I have to meet
