He appears to have the right temperament for a job of that kind in such an outback locality, beqause he writes: —"Just a line to thank you for your kind assistance in obtaining a position for me. I am situated 40 miles inland. There are forty men to cook for; all old-style conditions of course—open fires and camp ovens. However, the job has been quite satisfactory so far."
