07 Apr 1942, W J Carrie's wartime diary

Well Honey I weighed myself yesterday 142 lbs - so I have got back my boyish figure - you won't know me!  The only drawback is that one gets so easily and so soon tired - my back seems to be breaking most of the time but still we can stick it out much longer yet. Still I do hope that relief comes by the end of May.  There are riots in H.K. and very little food is being sent out to us - we'll be left stranded perhaps and then trouble will start.  However we must hope for the best.               All my love Darling             BB
