At Christmas time a bulky letter and a small white box came addressed to them, bearing the postmark of Bournemouth.

Robert Arthur (A); 26Jul67; R415295. Postmarked for paradise.

The Little Red Doctor produced a letter with a camp postmark from the South and read a passage: "You were right when you guessed that I never wanted anything very much before, without having it handed to me.

If we can show that that envelope certainly was not stamped with that postmark in the Sydney post-office on the 10th May 1873, then we shall get him out,shan't we?'

The Sydney postmark with the date was very plain.

And all she could make out was that the p-p-postmark on the l-l-letter was Piedmont, N.Y., which on looking up we f-f-found was away up here in the h-h-heart of the old Adirondacks.

There was much said as to the accuracy and clearness of the Sydney postmark, and something as to the absence of any postmark at Nobble.
