Dear Mary
I received your letter and paper tonight dated 28th Nov also two [?] packets of Gold Flake cigs don’t know who sent them. I got yours two or three day before. You are getting on at home a new dug & new range since I left hope I will see them sometime. Kenny Macnal just got word of his mother’s death very hard on the poor chap. We have nothing but rain here night & day since a few days too wet to go out but we have nothing to say, as yet. I wonder if Mr McLeod ever got my letter. You will soon be having Christmas holidays etc hope you will enjoy them.
No more Love to all From Dodo
