'Our Letter Home' includes information on a range of political and social matters. Among these is a report on the 'shadow' that has 'fallen upon the theatrical section of the community by the sudden and unexpected death of Charles Panrucker Viner, better known by his stage-name of Charles Vincent, one of the managers of the Theatre Royal'. The Australasian also mentions recent productions at Melbourne theatres and notes that the 'Princess's is still closed [and] there is not at present much likelihood of this pretty theatre being re-opened.'
