Dear Mary
I am posting your letter a separate envelope to this as it would make it rather bulky if I sent it and the P. Cards all in the one am posting both to night Tues. I wrote to Andrew first and posted his last Tues. and all the others between then and now. I also posted one to Alex a few days ago in reply to the one he sent me, I will write to Ivy & Tommy sometime soon we are having warm weather now and it is badly needed for the sake of the harvest which promises to be very good in this country, a quantity of wheat is already cut around this district, this month corresponds with Feb. in N.Z. so it is fairly early yet. Yours sincerely, Jack
