Dear Dorothy & all at home Just a few more lines to let you know everything is O.K. with me and I hope all is well with you at home. I will not be able to write you a long letter this time as the is nothing mush to write about. A few days ago I met Bob Smith or “Pommy” as we used to call him once he asked me to send you all his regards. You will remember him I think he used to work for the New Zealand Express Co. in Dunedin and was down in Invercargill helping us to install milking-machines for a few weeks. At present I do not see any signs of Jock or Albert Kerse as were are scattered about all over the place, but will meet up with them one of these days
