with the account of Galloway's coming to grief on his way to Sydney, but fortunately without serious injury except to his machine, which I see, had one of those beastly gnome engines. The interview with Gus James in the paper shows the friction that exists between the Point Cook & the Richmond people.
We got a letter from Auntie Mary to say you had been transferred to Rencomb in Gloucestershire but as your cablegram with congratulations on our wedding day came from a place a few miles from Oxford we think your O.C. must have done some more protesting, & must have refused to part with you. They tell us that the English mails by the Sonoma were left in New Zealand, & won't be here for some days. It is hard to gather the truth but these are war times, & we must accept what we are told.
Mind you tell me all about your money affairs & if you want more allowance. I have asked you often & have never got a reply.
This may get to you shortly before Christmas. If so, accept our dearest love, & most loving wishes that this Christmas may be the last we shall spend apart. Eileen & Peter are coming back to us in less than a couple of weeks, & we are so looking forward to their return.
Your loving father
Thomas Hughes.
