Dear Mamma and Pa,
I have so much to tell you and have seen so many places. The life of a mounted policeman is truly the life for me and with the exception of a momentary lapse in judgment when I was absent for two hours and found drunk in Ann Street, I am told I have a promising career ahead of me. I was fined one pound for the lark which was a real rub.
In future I am likely to be stations at country towns such as Condamine, Dalby, Leyborn, Chinchilla, Charleville and Rosewood.
The police officer in such towns often performs more than just police work and I am just as likely to be the Clerk of Petty Sessions, Land Agent, Inspector of Houses and Assistant District Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages. I am also going to be promoted to Sergeants soon. Sergeant Warner - can you believe it Pa?
Your loving son, James
