Horse. He's right out of his element there. Even if he can't get into anything in the Motor line, the Machine Gun Section is a good catch, though its jolly hard work at times. Also had a letter from Mother written at Katoomba dated the 29th May, and am glad to hear the trip has done her good. I hope she has not been worrying at all, because no letters have been coming through. Goodness knows you all have enough to worry about with four of us away, though I know you both would sooner have us over here than have us stay behind and join the ranks of the "deep thinkers".
Nothing more in the way of things I can write about. Believe I told you I'd been promoted to the magnificence of a Lance Corporal.
Love to all at home.
Your loving Son
Roy.
