Continued from Lake Zumbro

(15th Oct 1924, Letter 8, part 4/4)

I am so pleased you like Mollie Gillies She is not a bad kid at all and Lake Zumbro Shack House Party easily the best of the family in the girl dept I mean.

We have met a very nice girl (married) in hospital here. [I suspect she is on the right in this picture from a previous page (Mrs. Mary Howes).] She is the Icon of Cork and we have great times with her. She is only 25 and treats life as a big joke and her sayings and slang are worth recording. She has been married five years and when I asked why she married so young she said 'well everyone else does it so I said yes too'. A girl of 25 here is an old maid.

Well I guess that is all so will close hoping all well. Love to all

Gordon.

 

The gang

[Obverse of photo.] This is the party [taking hotel proprietor's daughter to college]. On the end of the line is the proprietor of the hotel and I am between his wife and daughter.
