21st June 1918.

My dear Geoffrey

Yesterday was Mother's birthday, & she was very pleased to get your cablegram wishing her many happy returns. Eileen sent her a dear little coloured photo of Peter, & some violets. Mrs. Maher is still not too well, & as the Clives have come to Sydney from Collaroy, Eileen does not care to leave her mother, so she is staying on for a time. Dick Clive leaves for England tomorrow. I don't know where his wife & children are going to stay during his absence. Not in Tasmania, probably in a flat in Sydney. Dick Clive says he will look you up when he is in England.

Your last letters were Nos. 19 & 20, dated 14th & 24th April from France. There was an account of a scrap between two Australian squadrons flights & von Richthofen's Circus in the Herald a few days ago that was curiously like your own experience of 21st March, though the details are different. If I can find the paper I shall enclose the cutting. I see you have got your score up to eleven Hun machines now. Good luck! I hope you will have had more before you went
