Dear Dad:

Address all mail to me through the above address. Letters will arrive much quicker!
Australia is certainly a grand country but the politics are all to Hell. They are probably not alone in this respect.

The swimming and surfing is grand with lots of sharks thrown in. P.S. I haven't seen one yet, but they tell me there are lots around.

Things are certainly going well in Europe thank you, and I would certainly like to be in London for the party, but it looks like I will miss that one.

Out in this area the Jap is not having a very happy time and I'm afraid he is going to be a lot unhappier.

Give my love to the family and tell Ronny to keep the car clean for me.

Love

Bill
