Many Happy Returns! Next year will be happy for we shall all be together. I am beginning to think you must have left Singapore and I am wondering where you are likely to be - Australia or Dacca?
Though of course you may not have left at all, for though they have advanced far south - at terrific cost we hear, I am quite sure they will never get past our last lines of defence. Singapore will never fall but it mightn't be a nice place to be in. We are still waiting to be interned. I had my first T.A.B. (anti Typhoid) inoculation yesterday - I couldn't have it last week when the others were done as I had 'flu.
I had a pretty strong reaction so I had rather a miserable night but I'm nearly o.k. now.
Cheero Darling B.
