Summary:
Sorry to hear Smith has not received the letter she sent him some time ago. Her father returned home on 1 January and bought her a "very pretty diamond beetle", some cork, and a pair of "flappers". Asks whether 'Banksia ericaefolia' has ever flowered in England. They have had "dreadful" stormy weather. Looking forward to seeing Smith and Mrs Smith at Hafod next summer.
