Don't rush about too much, change and rest is what you need, not rush and excitement. Hope you will see Aunt Joy, Lou, Edith and Mrs Gillam.
Have you seen or heard of Norman Watson or seen anything of Hedly?
I do hope and pray Gag is home and making good

Mother sent me a parcel of head Bays[?] and I wired her for, per Mrs Lammond & I was hoping for news of Gag, but she did not write, so I only know up to when Gag had just gone to the hospital with Mr Scott.
I shall be glad if there is no worry[?] for a while after I finish here, have now had thirteen weeks continuous shearing [illegible] .
