I’ve seen several wee shy violets, too. Peter. They look so lovely peeping from underneath the big green leaves. There aren’t many flowers about now, are there, Peter? Places look very bare where the flowers have been. This piece should be in the Show piece but 1 have Just remembered it. I entered three things in the Show and got two firsts and on third. One first was for pikelets, the other for a school painting, and the third Tor a table-centre. Well, cheerio for the time being, Peter. —With love from Blue Violet til , Koromatua.

In the arternuon we went to watch rootball, because my brother-in-law is in the ambulance and tie was on duty there.

We all went to the Show one evening and had a very enjoyable time. 1 tried my luck at throwing those penny rings and 1 won a pretty green glass dish. We were up In Bledisloe Hall and we saw the Australian Cowgirl swing a rope. The lust time she swung it she tap-danced in tlie middle of a swinging loop. 1 have some pretty little violets out now, Peter, in my garden. We all went over the river to my uncle’s place in Te kuwhai on Monday. They are getting a new house built and it will be lovely when it is finished. We did not come home until Tuesday night.
