Fix this textDearest Wife
Fix this textWe are leaving here tomorrow Tuesday for a run around the Yarrangobilly
Fix this textand Kiandra districts. We have had good fun here but the trout are off. There
Fix this textare very few and river is low and clear and they won’t bite. Even Jack cannot
Fix this textdo any good. We had a rough run to this place the last few miles being bad
Fix this textbut we go back by another road which will be better except for the
Fix this textMurrumbidgee crossing over that we will be towed by a horse.
Fix this textI am glad to hear baby is so well and good. There are two little children at the
Fix this textplace where we are camped but they are not as taking in their manners as
Fix this textshe is.
Fix this textI played a game of tennis! yesterday. There actually is a court here - the
Fix this textWee JasperTennis Club. The men play with their boots and spurs on there is
Fix this textonly one ball. They lost the other some time ago. The policeman is the best
Fix this textplayer. I was a perfect marvel. There are four houses in the town and three
Fix this textout of four don’t speak to each other. The black tracker is only one whose
Fix this textsocial position is not a touchy question. He is half-caste and is married to a
Fix this textwhite wife. There is a store here kept by an Indian but he only has very few
Fix this textthings. The weir site or the ware as they call it is the great topic of
Fix this textconversation - or rather how much they are to get by way of compensation. It
Fix this textwill flood an awful lot of country. There are some splendid maize flats on the
Fix this textriver that will be two hundred feet under water. We went to the site yesterday
Fix this textit is a rough steep and I am very tired today but will put in a good loaf. The
Fix this textthings are to go by coach today to Yass we go up the river for a last try at the
Fix this texttrout tonight and off to Tumut tomorrow. Write to Cooma and I will be more
Fix this text[likely] to get it. Mark it Cooma to be called for. We will be at Kiandra and
Fix this textJindabyne before we get to Cooma but will be going fast and might miss
Fix this textletters. I am making this a long one as I may not get a chance to write a good
Fix this textletter for the next few days. I feel very much better already. I wish i had a
Fix this textmonth here. Your loving husband

Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
