to get away from this awful weather, cold - rain & wind over nearly 3 weeks now. Ben Cox is still here. I cannot fix up to get away yet, rather dread going across in August.

We have the Royal Comic Opera Co. here now playing "Katinka" really first class show, and naturally, as they joined us at Auckland I know most of the "beautifuls" but none compare to my Dodie. Well dear one, best love to all at home, & a wee kiss for yourself.

Yours ever sincerely, to a cinder, Billy.
