[c.12 July 1943, Brisbane \u2013 Whilst awaiting transfer to Darwin, Wep wrote five pages reflecting upon the circumstances that led to him being in Brisbane; from the moment Alice Jackson, editor of The Australian Women’s Weekly, rang his home a week earlier to summon him in to the office. His latest cover celebrating American Independence Day had just been published. It was not written as a letter to Jess, and had no apparent ending.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Independence Day 1943, Wep, The Australian Women’s Weekly, July 3, 1943, Cover<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was angrily unhappy. The phone rang and my wife said it was the office calling. I was suddenly sadly unhappy. From here where doing something I don\u2019t like, to something I positively hated. Editors are alright in their time and place, like doctors, and that is not on a cold and astrologically unfavourable morning when one is feeling unhappy, even angrily.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m wanted in the office and I haven\u2019t shaved or eaten or even got over getting out of the wrong side of the bed. And then of course I miss the boat1<\/a><\/sup>Northwood ferry<\/span> because the two minutes time our clock is always short of. The forty minutes later would, as fate inexorably will it, be proudly ferrying the mother of one of those wretched infant prodigies of art. A rowing boat would be a sound investment \u2013 slow \u2013 but soulful.<\/p>\n

I come out of the trance to hear the editor saying it seems \u2013 yes, and we\u2019re sending you to Darwin for a couple of hours to do a complete compilation of life in the far north. Can you get away by yesterday?<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, yes, yes,\u201d I promise the world but secretly reckon that for the Northern Territory only, I can hedge a bit on the vows.<\/p>\n

For a week it\u2019s all very vague and hurried, a few recollections come to light of a tailor saying H\u2019m well make your suit inside out \u2013 of photographs which look like a balded Arnold Haskell \u2013 of an energetic sweat despite the cold \u2013 and some more photos for the office which will come in handy for the obituary if the plane falls to pieces in mid air.<\/p>\n

About 12 midday after packing effects, personal and impersonal, I find I\u2019m responsible for a huge weight and a most imposing bulk of gear which will probably never be used. At 2 am it\u2019s down to only 40 lbs overweight; i.e. allowing for 40 lbs of clothing \u2013 razor, teeth, wig, etc. \u2013 The 40 lbs over represents false nose, paints, easel, canvas, paper, and all those oddly dirty things which artists use. The problem is whether sacrifice the paints or go quite naked. This one is, at 2am, quite easy, that is the pigeon of the office.<\/p>\n

And in no time at all I\u2019m in Brisbane. Diplomatic courtesy forbids me mention this noble duty except in so far as to mention that it is situate the south eastern corner of Queensland and has most salubrious and invigorating climate as well as women of presentable appearance and engaging manners.<\/p>\n

I sleep in American quarters, I eat with Americans \u2013 I see pictures with Americans. I dream about Americans. I get blood taken out of me by Australians at the gentle suburb of Greenslopes and I\u2019m told I have never had malaria. It would be something of a miracle if I had \u2013 but then it is just one of those things that science likes to prove you haven\u2019t got. Caught a taxi back \u2013 holy heavens, what a price! Could scarcely have charged the newest boy from Oklahoma more. However the office paid up with good grace.<\/p>\n

And so to the sleepless cot swaying amongst the sighings, the yowlings, the dropping of boots, the cleaning of teeth, the pulling of chairs, the washings of faces, the gurglings of throats, the coming ins and going offs of American airmen on service leave. No need for the night porter to call me at 3.30 a.m.. I\u2019m looking at the City Hall clock and trying to work out what\u2019s going on in the air raid shelter just opposite.<\/p>\n

Doughnuts and coffee thanks to the American Red Cross.<\/p>\n
