have interested grandma. I long for news from home but I must just wait How slow we seem to go though we sail between 300 & 400 miles every day This is a very large & comfortable ship & of course I have made a lot of acquaintances six or eight of them will probably go with me through Tasmania, New Zealand, Australia & up through the islands to Singapore. It will be quite a while yet ere I can find the end of this huge journey

though I feel I am on the home stretch I hope to mail this at Freemantle, but do not expect to leave this ship until we reach Melbourne or Sydney.
With love to all ever yours J. M.
