Title: Jolley's motor launch 'Reliance' on the River Torrens, Adelaide, near the City Bridge and their boathouse
Collection: Kelley
Names: Jolley family
Date: c1911
Inscription: The Torrens, Adelaide, S. A. 27/9/11 cont. By now J. S. you must have decided to change residence - [?] is far away from where you were? I'm still sticking to the Port but I'm wondering what my next promotion will bring. Am in my 31st year in the service & there will be several changes shortly. We have had a very mild winter & much too dry. I see by the telegrams you have had a warm finish to your summer, we had the dryest August on record & prospects of our harvest are not too good yet but are hoping for good late rains. Hope this will find you all well. Best love all [?] Mel. [Inscription on separate sheet - Jolley's motor launch "Reliance" at Adelaide Bridge boathouse, pre 1911.
