Dear Mr Hall
I return your book "Here in Australia" with thanks, also paper, which was overlooked before I went South last month and am sorry about that.
Came home again 2 weeks ago after a few weeks pottering about the farm.
At present doing a few necessary jobs here but very much slowed down now. On Tuesday I had a run up around York and Northam with Mr Buffy[?] on this pub inspections.
The crops that way look splendid and ragmaking[?] has commenced. Out further East they need rain very badly for finishing. In common with all the rest my brother and his sons flopped with their first tobacco crop; that industry in Australia is now very much on "the knees of the Gods" and needs Federal Government Control. Old George's pretty good also his son — we miss you for a yard I can assure you. We do hope that you are your cheerful self. I am still working on the historical research.
Sincerely
A.E. Blakers
Por favour
Mr A. HALL
SWANBOURNE
