omen for our future.

money from Jean's case sold;

augment my ration [[(Sayor Kani).?]]Js Told
Bill Temoulin, who escaped & was
re-captured, that we were very underfed
because J internees in USA were
being worse fed!! Several letters arrived
from Aust. England & Canada. Took
9 months to reach here. Nothing for
me but I live in hope. Also it appears
from letters that Etties convoy reached
Sydney OK. Thank God for that.
We think it is only a matter of months
how long we can exist on this food.
I am very weak & weigh 10 st; also
my bladder is so weak I cannot hold
water. Couldn't continue rice stamping.
Js evidently stolen our pocket money
