Summary

Letter written to Jessie Smith: "Elder House, Adelaide, 18th August 1928. Dear Mrs Smith, This mornings' mail from England brought a letter from Mr James Waite with some enlargements of the small photos he took at Mutooroo early in the year. I am enclosing three that I think you may like to have in memory of the old days. Today looks most promising for rain and I hope we may get a real good downpour. With kind regards, yours sincerely, H.R. Adamson".
