Doreen shorthand.

We got eggs (40 Yen) and pork (500 Yen a pound) but we didn't buy that much!
((These extras were bought with the proceeds of sale of my watch.))

Very poor, ordinary meals - greens and peas, and cockles.

Worked in afternoon.

Crosses are now being dug out in various places about camp  ((ie. to show  our planes we are a camp)).

Newspaper says that a Jap. ship leaves Japan about 17th with parcels for us among others - frantic rumours re contents.
