Got 60 cigs today, original price 48cts, now $10.

Blumenthal had box of cigs brought by Jap officer. He, Whitley & Woodward working on cars in Prison for Japs. ((Probably G Whitley, a policeman, though there was also a Norman Whitley in camp. Similarly, G Woodward was another policeman, though there was also a W Woodward in camp.))

Fine day. Poor rations. Blum. & MacCutch went to town with Japs & brought back some purchases.
