| Transcript | Morialta Chambers, Victoria Square, Adelaide. 3rd October 1923. Dear Joseph About a week ago I heard from Frank. I sent him £5 which Robert gave me out of some moneys you sent him. He seems all right now from his letters. I was in Melbourne in August but missed him as he was not living in the Soldiers' Hostel, Collins Street, Melbourne. He mentioned that he had looked at a list which is published about once a month of lands for application. I have not the list with me but it is one published in Melbourne not in South Australia and showing certain areas, comparatively small, which could be purchased by instalments. They were quoted between £2000 and £3000 and are for mixed productions, cattle and sheep, or sheep and dairy produce, etc., etc. It is impossible for me to say what particular spot could be taken up unless he got direct information in Victoria of the class of land, etc. I told him to try and ascertain that and to let you know directly how he stood. In most of these a deposit of over £100 or £150 would have to be paid at once. He doubtless has already written to you. I just at the moment have heard that mere is a mail tomorrow, I am stuck up but I thought that I would let you shortly know what the position is. I was glad to hear that Joan and Dymphna have been with you and have had a splendid time in the Old Country. Few people know the politeness and good feeling of the land in which we were born, so little is communicated to the world except by telegrams of any trouble that may arise. However, things are improving now. Some day or another I hope to be in the United Kingdom again. One has friends everywhere, in London, Scotland, and in the land of his birth— Ireland. With best regards and wishes, Your affectionate brother [P. McM. Glynn] |
