G'Day all

Its been abit since I have been on here. Been busy alot but I got some spare time now and got back into collecting stamps and sorting the big pile out.

So any ways I was looking at all my covers I got last year and I found a nice old 1905 cover with a letter still in it. Well me been only 19 I have no idea how to read it.

Here are the pics of this letter and cover.









Can any one read it? if you can the info on what this letter is about would be so much fun to learn.

Thanks
Jason BD

I can make out a few words and phrases here, but the writing style is not easy to read. Might need a handwriting specialist.

I also could make out a few words. I imagine given enough time I could figure out the basics of the letter. I have poor penmanship myself, so that does help decipher other peoples handwriting on occasion. Very nice cover.
