My birthday and I received your lovely loving letter of 1st November '42 and jolly nice it was too. I was grateful for your news and pleased to know that you were keeping well and fit. The letters arrive just any old how but nevertheless a letter is a letter and much appreciated. We are to be allowed to send a postcard this week.
The Amoy people who are now in Shanghai transferred end of May were lucky in being able to get a group photograph taken in the grounds of the Hope Hospital, photographs here are absolutely taboo, the only people to have cameras are the Jap. Superintendents. However events are moving quickly and our incarceration may not be so long now.
