Dear Doris,&#13;
I’m awfully sorry [deleted] not [/deleted] to have left your letter so long before answering it. I’ve just noticed it was dated 1-3-45.&#13;
I’m glad you received the wedding photo O.K. &amp; that you liked it. I’ve been seriously thinking of having a bigger one done – tinted &amp; framed [deleted] fo [/deleted] for our future home.&#13;
I’m working quiet [sic] near Watervale now &amp; am on flax spreading. I stay at the hostel (which is really a large home taken over for the duration) with 19 other girls. They are a great crowd &amp; we have lots of fun. I always thought flax was hard work [deleted] l [/deleted] &amp; so I always put in to go on other jobs to escape it but now I’m on it I really like it. That’s often the way isn’t it. – I’m spending this weekend up at Watervale &amp; have one of my room mates here with me. We travel 50 miles a day to &amp; from work so we see quite a bit of country too.&#13;
Doris honestly I dont [sic] want you to bother too much over getting presents for either of us as things must be very hard to get over there &amp; [deleted] are [/deleted] would also be very expensive. I have practically every&#13;
[page break]&#13;
2) thing I need in my box – enough to start house keeping on any way. Theres [sic] one thing I would like &amp; thats [sic] a really nice photo of yourself. My address will be at Undalaya until Keith comes home on leave so you can please yourself which address you use. By the way I have never received your&#13;
3) sea-mail, letter it must have gone to keep your birthday cake company. Have you ever received the 2 lovely guest towels “mum” posted you the same day as my photo. I hope you did as they were beautiful. Write again soon won’t you – also don’t forget to get in touch with that English land girl as I’m looking forward to her letters. Lots of Love &#13;
from Doris xxxxxxxx&#13;
