'l'm Just pack — Gosh, it’s good to be in little old New Zealand again. I don’t Icnow how many times I’ve thought about Home and all you folks back here. That was why it was so good to know that you were thinking of us too we always felt that when the Patriotic parcels arrived. All the old labels on the tobacco and chocolate and tinned stuff... and the feeling that New Zealand women had packed those parcels for the love of the thing. And talking of the Patriotic crowd, do you realise what their work means to our chaps with the recreation huts, stationery, comforts for the wounded, sports outfits, concert parties and goodness knows what?
