Everything is cleared up now I think. You say a terrible time for a
sailing ship to load. I'll say it does - and how! They load too slow &
travel too slow & belong to last century - certainly not in this age
of speed.

Well as my doings for a while will still be uncertain
I think you'd better write to Aus. House again & in about 8 or 9 or 10
weeks from now I'll make enquiries. You must be just about
fagged out by now with nearly 19 pages & my arm is aching - believe
me!

So for the present I will finish with heaps of love from

Your loving son
Eric
