P.S. I hope that in case of necessity, or indeed that sometimes you speak to Mr Finney at the bank, about your finances, he will be your best guide, and in the interests of the bank to whom I owe most money he will act for yours and their best advantage, at the very worst you should be able to struggle through for a couple of years, what, after that, will happen, none can tell.
It has been announced, & probably correctly, that the Federal Parliament has passed a law providing pensions for the widow & younger children of men who may lose their lives during the course of the war.
