From Melbourne (Mum): 16th September 1981

Melbourne
16.9.81

Dear Alan,
                I hope this reaches you by your birthday. If I wait any longer to see if the address is right I will be too late. You say you have a lot of work to do and in the National Times last week there was an article about dentists. I will send it in another letter but it does say that the government is not letting any more dentists in for two years. Doesn’t say what will happen then.

I think Dad asked you in his letter what you would like us to send you. There must be something you would like that you can’t get in Johannesburg. The white people there are supposed to have a high standard of living but there must be some things they don’t have. Your birthday this year is on Show Day so will be having a rest.

                We will be thinking of you because you re a long way away and it must be hard for you in a strange country.

                Love from Mum
                And all the rest of the family.
