03 Dec 1943, Diary of George Gerrard in Stanley Internment Camp Hong Kong

This afternoon I received three loving and glorious letters from you dated 27th December '42, 12th January '43 from Glasgow and 31st January '43 from Inverness and I am so glad that you are liking the Northern town so much.

I wonder what kind of a job you have there however it is fine to know that you are well and keeping cheerful, your letters are very encouraging and so helpful along this dreary road, which is becoming wearisome. Nevertheless we keep cheery and tho' the food is poor and small we live in the hope that very soon happier days will come our way soon.

Thanks a lot for all your news dear and I hope that long before you have received some from me and heard about me from the repatriated Canadians (Bill Buchannan through' Mrs Finnie).
