Description
One letter from Henry Allingham to his mother Helen Allingham, hoping Helen has been having a good holiday, and is not working too much. He asks Helen continue to send her letters to Lammermoor, and will contact the postmaster to forward the letters to Oakley. Henry is at Oakley to run the pump, and to see to the other pumps along the creek if anything goes wrong. He informs Helen that he has been getting 1 pound a week from Mr. Christison and hopes he will be able to pay for his passage home, but does not know when he will be leaving. Henry states that Mr. Christison has invited Henry to stay another 12 months, but Henry does not think he would like to stay that long as his time in the bush offers little advancement in engineering career. There is a note at the bottom of Henry's letter indicating that the contents are "strictly private," from Mr. Christison.
