Dear Everybody,

Arrived in Melbourne this morning 9:30AM & went out to the Melbourne Embarkation Depot. We are to leave Melbourne sometime tomorrow morning for Sydney & will embark the same day. We are to go to Scotland for 3 or 4 months training will be at least 3 or 4 months will probably longer. Have been given leave till tomorrow morning 7:30AM, will stay at Air Force House rather than the camp, where we will have to draw blankets & get straw for the palliasse. Don't worry if my letters don't come for some time as they may be all in a bunch. We probably won't get mail until we are in England for several weeks.

Love, Ray
