Read all the family letters in one book. Text Box: “Waldon”White Street Beaumaris Victoria Australia January 1934 Dear Walter. We received your good wishes in time for Xmas and I tell that brother of yours he should and ought to write but they are an obstinate lot the Bates. However we do not forget all about you although we are so remiss. The children will be getting to such an interesting age and I would like a snap of them sometime to see what they are like. Of our family. Jack is well and as active as ever, all his weekends and holidays spent with his boat and in fishing. He still goes to town every day at 7.15 a.m. Denis well in with Titles Office, now has three children, two boys and a girl. Kathleen was married last March, her husband is in the R. A. E. and with Eileen’s quiet wedding this Xmas the family is somewhat disbanded. I notice you are going to Capetown and hope you will have a pleasant holiday. We all send our very best wishes for the New Year and don’t forget we are having a Centenary this year of 1934 if you are wanting to make any further expeditions. Love to you all and so glad to hear from you and be remembered. Yours sincerely, Dora Bates.
