Letter from Gilberton

Letter from Gilberton to Mrs. Verney, 7/5/1920, in which Ross says that he will not be able to greet her on her arrival that day but that he is looking forward to seeing her in Sydney and hearing all the Indian news. He tells her that he is on a lecture tour about his flight. He says that 'I have had a very strenuous time since reaching Australia, the flight was quite easy compared with our first visit to Sydney...'.

Janette Verney, wife of Ralph Verney, sometime military secretary to the Viceroy of India, and an intimate friend of A.E. ('Biffy') Borton, met Ross Smith in India when he and General Borton had flown out from England in 1918, after the end of World War I.
