DEAR DOROTHY , Your airgraph of 14th Feb reached me last night and I was jolly pleased to hear from you again. At last my mail is being addressed from base post office to my new address so I expect the rest of it will catch up with me any day now. I am pleased to hear that you managed to get over to Stewart Is. for your holidays, you would have a great time over there. We will certainly take Mum across, when I get back home. By the way you did not say if you were sea sick or not, the old “Tamatea” is some old tub to ride in. I suppose Maisie and Lenore will be back home now, after their stay with Frances. I knew Mr Hicks over at the Island quite well, he is a fine chap. I suppose you would not feel like settling down to nursing again after a holiday over there. I have written two letters to you, so far this month, but this will reach you before they do. Will say cheerio just now old dear and lots of love and kisses. You loving brother. ERIC. xxxxx
