My dear

Received your note and was pleased to hear from you. I am at the Sherlock at the 35,000. But I had to pay for the new windmill & store it & I have Hubert there at present — but useful to there my self. When we return from South the House is a affair. That is the worst part of it — we had a fire run through 200 posts burnt out. Came right across from the Whim Creek road to Sherlock & burnt 35 posts there. It was the biggest fire I have seen for years. I have found a road across from Croydon to Sherlock it is about 21 miles & a first class track go right past Bungles well stirling a well four miles from Sherlock house & have just delivered to Vans on Blyths 138 fat cattle going by Mundaroo & I will be selling on suffering 100
