The bottom fell out of the HK dollar - now worth only half as much as before.

Madame Le Bon visited camp and was in a great state about it.  ((I think she made trusses etc. for hernia cases))

Worried lest the value of our $75 parcels drops ((only a few internees had so far received their parcels.))

People haven't left for Shanghai.
