Dear Amy,
We hear a lot of rumours such as a bad time with the stock- I hope it will soon be a thing of the past.
I am glad you like your new teacher. I think you could easily get a better one than Miss Quinn.
I am to sail on the 25th inst. on the Ceramic, an 18,000 ton boat. She is in the harbour now and is the biggest boat that has crossed south of the equator. It takes 38’ of water to float her and we are going to India to take the place of the Regulars there and will probably train there for another 7 months before getting into the fight. Part of my brigade is there now. (the 5th brigade)
Love to all, Stid
