Letter from Australia

Strange mentioning the Seven Years War this morning and then I get a letter from the New England area of New South Wales. About the French and Indian war - information on equipment and clothing etc. Does he not have email thinks I? It's been a while since I had a letter. Then I read 'I must go, my two candles are running low' and things like 'the post rider only comes a few times a week to the foot of my mountain and I rarely get to town' so I think it's safe to assume this fellow does it for real. Respect.
