From Melbourne (Mum) : 28.11.82

From Melbourne
28.11.82
Dear Alan,
                I am enclosing subscription form. You can make up your mind whether you want to continue and where you want to send it.

                We have spent most of this afternoon watching an ex-South African bat for Australia. He was chosen for the 2nd test in Brisbane. His name is Kepler Wessels. He first went to England to play cricket but came to Australia and is now a naturalized Australian or he wouldn’t have been able to play in the test. He was the opening bat and made over 160 the highest score. He was the last man out. Until he went out everybody thought he had a good chance of lasting the whole innings in his first test which has hardly ever happened. But unfortunately for him he was bowled. I think he will be playing more tests for Australia. Would he be mentioned in the South African papers or is he forgotten once he goes to live in another country.

                Lois has been down this weekend. She has talked Beverley into going up for a few days next week with her friend Catherine.

                                                Love from Mum
