To my darling niece Lena Since first I received a letter from you some years ago in far away Australia, you kindled and it enshrined in my mind the longing I would one day meet you, and greet you, and my brother (your father), and your sisters. Thanks to God my dream was realised on the 15/7/24 I met you in reality, And I have pleasure in here recording the delightful and happy times I have had in company of yourself and them. Do try and remember the happy and delightful days we spent (and the nights) in our childhoods home when by its fireside we learned to lisp Mama's at our Mother's knee. Now do remember later years, you in youthful bloom, womanhood, I declining years. The happy and delightful days and nights spent in the same old home a few weeks ago and all the other places that you and I spent our happy holidays together to numerous here to record but will always bring happy and fond recollection to me when far away from you, Lena, and you I beg to be good enough and try and recollect.
The time is fast approaching when I'll have to cross the sea

the same hand as the top left drawing on Page 89 (FHR rather than Ed McKenzie, I
think). |
