We are going to Roehampton near Richmond before long, I think on Thursday. You must write to me when we are moved. From your loving brother Frank."

We also have a telegram dated August 16th stating: "12176 Inform R Phippen Twentysix Regent St Yarraville Victoria Private 1648 F G Phippen vipsani dictators jeremiad. Prelicas 10 6A MC 12th Bath County of London Reg".
