I received my promised Tunic about three weeks ago, also a pair of gloves, which came in very handy cold nights. The winter this year has been extremely fine down here. Quite a lot of rain but not as bad as usual. We are kept busy with the cars lately since Conscription came in, running officers around to the different camps. Dear mother i have nothing to say because you now just about what i am doing. With love to the gang. Your loving son Herbert.
