Dear Jim,
Actually I've been intending to do this for sometime but somehow an other I never seem to get down to it. I also intended to cable you greetings before the 9th inst. & had the opportunity yesterday as I had a day off & got into Leeds. However I went to the pictures in the afternoon & remembered your cable when consuming my dinner & it was then too late. I can't send one from the station here so you will have to be contented with my rather belated assurance that I did think of it.
I don't know when I last wrote you but image it was sometime before I last went on leave. Needless to say I had a slashing time & particularly enjoyed the ramble Roger Johnson & I had through Kent & Surrey. Despite doodlebugs,rockets, shelling & everything else they've
[page break]
had, it is by far the most beautiful & picturesque part of England I've had the pleasure of seeing. That brings me back to the direct opposite & that believe me is Yorkshire. Still Marie at some time or other has no doubt handed on all my moans about this place so I won't bore you with it further. Besides I'm getting used to both the weather and the routine around here. We are getting a little flying but are so bored that we like quite a lot more. As a matter of fact we are all rather keen on the old Halifax & are very pleased about being on them.
We now get Mass every Sunday again & I seem to be installed here now as the permanent altar – boy & so far have been fortunate not to have had to fly on a Sunday morning. It is a little difficult to get away at times from the section but the 3 “Micks” in our crew have always managed it so far.
Whilst staying at the Aust. Forces Club last time I was in London, I went to Mass
[page break]
one morning at the Brompton Oratory in Kensington. It is an enormous Church run by the Jesuits & is a masterpiece in marble although I'd never heard of it before it is far more elaborate than such historical churches as Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, St. Paul's, Selby Abbey, York Minster, Lichfield Cathedral etc.
Eileen tells me she hopes to go to Sydney for Christmas & seems quite buoyed up in anticipation. So far I've not heard definitely how Doreen & Kevin faired in the recent exams but hope the went alright.
I've heard very little of you, lately, for that matter, apart from the fact that you'd been down to Bendigo for the retreat recently & did a spot of relief work on the way back. How's the car running lately? I was thinking of buying one myself over here but got too much leave, when I kept travelling around & staying at decent hotels instead of service clubs & consequently spent most of the money I had on hand. Still whilst on leave, one enjoys a few luxuries & taken all round it's probably worth it. Remember me in your prayers. Your loving brother, Pat.

Dear Jim,
My mail has just started to catch up with me and I received quite a batch today. No doubt it is a thing of the past, at least I hope so, but it was only today that I learned you’d been laid up in hospital with a dose of bronchitis. Please God you as fit as ever and still like the Wangaratta district.
I’ve been shifted about a bit recently and had 3 changes within a week. Although it is well away from anywhere and I’ve lost most of my closer pals- Jack Brennan however is still with me. I like the place immensely. Incidentally Maurice McNamara (Dook) is a w/t operator here and wishes to be remembered to you.
I spent last weekend in a nearby country town and had a great time. The scotch people are a darnside better than the English in my humble opinion, but believe me their lingo is a problem. The countryside from one end of this ?isle to the other is everything you’ve read about in poetry and literature in the springtime. There’s no doubt about it, it stands alone. If the Irish eat more spuds than the Scotch I’ve no wish to go there for I’ve never eaten so much so often as I have here and the greater percentage is spuds. Sorry to hear of Bill Seehan’s death. Aunt Lizzie’s was more or less to be expected wasn’t it? I’m writing Aunt Polly.
The chapel is only a couple of huts from mine and we have Mass and Benediction a couple of times per week as well as having High Mass sung every Sunday.
Eileen seems to be on the mend now and apparently everyone else at home is OK. According to Eileen Dad is looking better than ever. Glad to hear he got rid of the old tub. Remember me occasionally.
Pat
