P.O.M.E. CHRISTENSEN. W.
HMAS Quickmatch.
GLGPO Sydney

Dear Sir & Bro,

Please find enclosed postal note for the sun of 5/3. I would like to apologies for the delay arising over this sin but our late Secretary was a bit lax over these matters and as I have just only returned from leave I beg for forgiveness, promising that this state of affairs will not happen again. I look forward to the next time that our ship will be over there, hoping that our Lodge has not a bad name through this and hoping that I can get the same cooperation that was given to the last Secretary,

Once again Sir I offer you my apologies.

I remain
Yours Sincerely & Fraternally
Wally Christensen K.O.M.
City Secretary
