This sensational "tripe" that has filled the papers for weeks, will do a lot of harm to the North West & I feel that I am only crying in the wilderness for the future about tropical culture.
The world will connect the whole of the North & North West in the general condemnation of inhospitable barren wastes of rock to nothing of the treacherous & hostile natives, that simply spear ever one on sight.
It makes me so sick, to see a gang of showmen, who not having much to secure a triumphant & sensational enty into Much Maligned England except when a loan is required.
Some Sydney paper has given them "rats" & booze is said to be much in evidence & a libel action is threatened.
The whole damd stunt was a showmens business, but they thought to get through a bit easier.
The hardships were terrible, the mosquitoes actually bit one of them on the legs & caused a STUNNED feeling, "terrible".
Little "Hinkler" did the job they failed in & did no advertising, just showed his face & off back again, unmourned & unsung.
Young Gordon was in to day & I am sorry that he has had a falling out with Jim, but better not mention it to any of the family.
He came & confided in me & told me his Father, had told him to get accomadation somehwre else when he came ot Perth.
Jim complained of him leaving a farm he was on, but it would be well for Jim to remember himself, that he too got tired of a farming life
