"BLANCO-CITO" ADVOCATES CLERK SHEARS SHEEP

Dear Wendy,—Once again 1 take up my pen, or rather pencil, to scribble you a note. 1 am writing this letter while sitting in the car waiting for mother. She is visiting a sick lady. I really dont know what's happened tu the Weather Clerk, Wendy ; he's sending us dreadful weather, and we are in the middle of shearing. The rain came on Wednesday and nobody has been able to do a stroke of shearing since. It's awful! I wish the beastly old Weather Clerk had to do shearing and I was in charge of the weather. I'd give it to him. I’d send tons of rain down to him. I had dreadful news a few days ago. I received a letter from “Indian Princess" telling me that her mother passed over the Great Divide on Labour Day. It was a dreadful shock to me. Wendy. I felt so sorry for her Lordy! I must close now, Wendy. Oceans of love to everyone.—From "BLANCO-CITO." Mang*mahu. So pleased to have your letter, my dear. Dear me, that is dreadful! I wonder does our Clerk know shearing operations arc in progress? I must inquire. Oh, poor man. I'm afraid he should never be able to shear sheep, dear. Yes, I also have received news of the sadness that has befallen our dcaa “Indian Princess." How deeply sorry wc all feel to hear of her mother passing over the Great Divide. However. I hope that Father Time will soon soothe her aching heart, and our “Indian Princess" happy once more.—Wendy.
