A beautiful double rainbow
easily the best I've ever seen
on our Wedding Anniversary
today, right across the Southern
Sky - which I take to be a good
omen for our future.
Bought handful of peanuts for
ƒ1.40 (equal to about 4/-) with

money from Joan's case sold;

also plate of watery bean soup

for 30c.

augment my ration (Sayur Asam). Js told

Bill Temoulin, who escaped & was

re-captured, that we were being underfed

because J internees in U.S.A. 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 O.K. 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
