Belgium Apr 11- 1916

Dear Frank -

Will drop you a few lines to day as we are not very busy just now

Just had a letter from Geo. and by all accounts they have had storm in Victoria also Mrs Swannell sent a post card that was taken while the snow was on It certainly looks wintery.

My surplus funds have run out sometime ago and I find my self broke most of the time However I got mixed up in a penny ante poker game and I made enough out of it to send The Kiddies some Belgium cards.

Have not hear weather they got them or not.

You may talk about your Rosie and Silvertip stunt
