Good morning,

I wanted to say thank you for the lovely Blackwood Pen that was created by Russell Ball and presented to me for my work with the Royal Commission for Defence and Veterans Suicide.

It is a lovely piece of workmanship and I sincerely thank you for you work supporting the members of the Australian Defence Force.
