Handwritten in pencil on reverse: Dear Mary, I suppose you are anxious on my account after reading the papers of the doings by Australians here. I've had a strenuous time of it and hope the worst is over. You will know by the papers who have fallen much better than I've heard here. W. Hamilton is still going strong, but haven't seen anything of Frank Pool for two (?) days. Am feeling A. I. at present & hope all at home are the same. I sent you a Turkish sword by a middy & hope you receive it, its rather a stumpery(?) affair but has a bit of a history. No more at present as this is all the writing tablet I possess at present. Love to all from Frank. F Pool has been wounded in left leg pass on to all friends._x000D_
