Do not make use of the enclosed article for publication unless until you have a following letter from me. Meanwhile it may add to your information about Anzac.
You will all be sorry to learn that I am sick. A beastly nuisance. For how long to be? How long??? If any serious change, which involves danger, comes into the sickness the authorities will keep you advised of my condition Failing such news you may assume that I am all right. Before this reaches you, if I be recovered you will receive a cable message from me, and all will be well.
Not much good at writing today, the spirit is willing but the muscles of my arm will not keep driving the pen. Pray forgive me.
Tell Mollie please that, as the mail closes here this afternoon, there may be no letter for her dated this week. Say a prayer sometimes for a poor old man, if you please?
Good bye. God bless you all.
May Fortune there be with you now & ever the best gifts at the sweetest smiles of Fortune.
To my friends kind regards. To each of you heaps of love & loads of kisses from
Your loving & affectionate Father
John. B. Nash.
