[Hotel Campbell, postmarked Oct 3 6.30am Rochester Minn]
[Hotel Campbell still exists today but, judging from the prices,
it appears to be a bit run down and no photos can be found.] 1st October 1924
My dear Father,
We are unable to tell in this place when a mail goes out to Australia
so am forced to take the risk and trust to luck.
Well we have been here a little over a week now and Bill is ever so much
better after the doctors had finished their examinations of him they put
him on a diet for a week and he finishes the course today. On Friday next
Bill goes back to the Clinic and has his final instructions given him
and we are hoping to leave this place about this day week to continue
our trip.
You will be pleased to hear that I have received two letters from home
so far. Mother's came to hand first and yours arrived a few days later
and I was pleased to hear Mother's cold was much better. Also to hear
you had received first letter posted in NZ.
We have not been doing much in this place as there is not much to do
but we are both pleased about the rest we are having as we had been going
hard since leaving Australia.
