Dear Dot, I was very pleased to receive your letter the other day and to hear that you like the nursing game alright. We are out on manruvres (sic) just now and we’ll finish up next Wednesday, thank goodness. Two of our companies are out in the hills and we are stationed in the racecourse at Matamata. I am still keeping the canteen going and go up in the hills to supply the boys with their needs every day, we are sure seeing a bit of the NZ we are in the region of the hot springs that we South Islanders hear

Hoping to see you in another 2 or 3 weeks time. Your undersized cousin Chas xxxxx
