The Treasurer
Dear Sir,
Please find a cheque to help keep the ‘Borehole Bulletin’ going. I like to read all the news in it, but I am too far away to join in any outings, etc.
Sorry I am so late in sending donation, but time seems to go fast and I must be getting slow.
Mrs D M London

NOTE:  The above letter was included ‘Borehole Bulletin’ July 1992.  We assume Gawler East is located in SA.
