Cold, overcast, NE wind.

Cleared up Pengelly’s store.

Saw Steve noon with wood.

No lorry, no paper.

Rumours persist re parcels & repatriation.

Black market cigs getting scarce.

Due to internees buying Chinese wine through the wire around Bung. E & F the authorities ordered them closed. Camp authorities have appealed so the decision of the Col. is awaited.

Plane over 11pm.
