HISTORY
1919 Birth on December 5, at 131 Glyde-street, East Fremantle, to Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Smith—a son (Evan Herbert Francis). (reference)
1926 Dear Auntie Kitty, I was very glad when I saw my name in "Letters Acknowledged." It has been very wet and cold down here this last week. One day we were looking for our cat, Dandy, to have a game with him, but we could not find him anywhere, so we gave up the hunt. I happened to go into the pantry for something and there was Dandy curled up inside a half-finished basket and scolded him. We are having our half-yearly examination and hope to pass it...I remain, your loving niece, Rose Wakeham, 131 Glyde-street, East Fremantle. (reference)
