without it. I am perfectly well my darling, just a strange old dream.
I am reading a lovely story, "East Lynn" written by Mrs. Henry Wood. Have you read it? I am not half-way throught it yet, it is a book I could sit reading all day, until I finish it.
Aunt Lou & Dick are here to-night, came over for [...]. Aunt Lou wishes to be remembered to you. It is very hot in Brisbane, everyone looks washed
out in the city in the middle of the day. I have been extra busy at work, I am doing Jays work as well as my own, he is away for 11 days with his girl friend, they have gone to Noosa. Our section has expanded even since Jay left, we have 15 working there now.
Jay left on Sat. and on Monday our Sgt. was taken to hospital, he has a spot on the lung, so we were more or or less left in the lurch, but we can get along without them. He is not a strong chap so I hope it is not serious.
I am going to the pictures to-morrow night with Monica to see "Hatters Castle", rather a weird thing I should imagine. She has read the book & would very much like to see the picture. I will tell you all about it in my next letter.
My darling husband, this letter is short & sweet, my days are so uneventful I have no interesting news. I am saying good-night now. I pray you are safe & well my cherished one.
Tons of Love,
Your loving & faithful wife
