Dear Frank I Know you will be much surprised at not my writing home, but to be Candid thare is no employment in Melbourne, that is the Cause which detained me.—William O'Dwyer Came to the Cuzco and brought me to his place, he has a splendid hotel. I Can never forget his Kindness to me and his good wife, as nice and as affectionate a woman as I ever meet. He has a good Situation at the draipery in one of the first houses in the City— I Saw Anthony O'Lughlin he received me most affectionaly, he has a good Situation and most steady. I Came to Australia at an age not Suitable to the Climate, a strange land and a strange people. I never Could live here, in fact it is impossible to Get a Job here. I am writing this note at F.
