Dear Miss Franklin

Mrs Lawson just received your letter and is busy washing. She will write. Now I want you to write to her by return post and tell her exactly what is troubling you. I need not see the letter. You did not ask me certain questions for nothing; and I hold myself responsible for your future welfare and happiness.

Yours truly
Henry Lawson

NB. You don't know Sydney well - I do.
