      On the back of a postcard sent to his sister Emma from Mooloolah, dated 14/9/19, Ted writes:
      Dear Emma,
      I have come to ask what I have done that you never answer my letters. Hoping you all keeping well. I seem to be getting a lot better but am unable to do any hard work as yet. Hoping to get a reply. I remain your neglected brother Ted
      E H Aldridge

      115 Chelmsford Road, North Perth, 12 Jan 1920

      Dear Emma,

      I received your letter and was pleased to hear you got the box.

      I was sorry it got so knocked about but never mind so long as the contents were there, tin boxes always get knocked about.

      I succeeded getting my ticket by fail today after a great struggle. I leave her on the 28th Jan and I will see you all before very long.

      I will go to Ada's first. More than likely Ada will meet me in Sydney. I can just imagine the fitting on of the things when the box arrived. I fancy I can see all the youngsters.

      I was glad you had some rain. I hope the storm didn't affect you in any way. We have had some very hot weather lately and I shall be so glad to get away for a change.

      I received a card from lady Jane* and it went into the fire.

      I was glad Harry and Laurie looked so well when they came home. I haven't much news but will let you know all when I come.

      Excuse this short note as the weather is so trying and I feel just knocked out. With fond love to the girls, yourself and children. Also Harry and boys.

      I remain your affect sister. F.Card.

      *I presume she is referring to older sister Jane. By this comment, they must have been estranged.
