Content Summary:

c/o Mrs T. W. Laidlay of Melbourne, Australia; on letterhead of Lennons Hotel, Brisbane. 12mo, 4 pp. 'We were leaving Australia at the end of Jan, but Percy said, wait a little while longer we'll go together, however he is now going to produce the March Show Martin wants us to cut our salary, which Maurie won't do. We are here at Cremorne theatre for another 3 weeks we'll either come then or within a couple of months I hope. Tommy Trinder went over very well here, just left Brisbane where he played for 1 week at £1500, is now going to Adelaide for one week will go back to Sydney where he will leave for England. We were told from the office he cut us out of the show on account of Mamis impression of the Colonel. Don't repeat this darling, but I don't think he likes us very much.' Postmark 5 February.
