    Today I handed in to the C.S.O. another 75 word postcard to you. There is so little that one is allowed to say that you'll wonder at the dearth of news in it when you receive it. However the day will come and we all hope soon, when free communication can be made.

    The news is really good and the Russians are advancing westwards rapidly. There is nothing of any import to record this week. Life just goes on as usual and always have plenty to do and I'm glad to say that I keep very fit and well. We received 25Yen today.
