Dear Elmslie,
Many thanks for order, which will be sent out without delay. I would have cabled for it but found it was too expensive. (£7.8.0). I will cable for duplicate, however, should you require it, and hope it will be the first of many larger ones.
I have made enquiries re throat doctor and find that Francis of Adelaide St is the best man you can have here. You had better communicate with him. Dr Thompson is an eye man. Hope you have nothing seriously wrong with your throat and that you will soon be alright.
Re Agency for Brisbane Brewery, I have had a chat with the manager of the Queensland Brewery and have told him that you are desirous of getting a good agency. He has promised me to write you by this mail and I hope you will come to terms.
The fleet are all anchored in the river and the town is in fete in subsequence.
Yours sincerely
Arthur Pixley
