No. 209 January 1974, Item 2531 (continued) In reply to a letter from the Director, in which he expressed appreciation of Neil McRae's valuable and enthusiastic service to the Bureau, Mac said: Many thanks for the kind thoughts in your letter of 4 December and the card and enclosed 18731973 medallion. I do appreciate all this which is typical of the friendliness and thoughtfulness that exists throughout the Bureau. Tomorrow, brother Keith and I will be resuming war on the rabbits, interspersed with a lunch of yabbies and cold beer. On behalf of all Bureau staff, we wish Mac luck in his retirement, and hope that with such pleasant pastimes he will have a speedy return to health.
