Dear Mother and Dad-
Well, here I am if you have been wondering about me. I did not mean to worry
anyone, it just happened that way. Right now I am in the camp hospital getting
some burns patched up. My left wrist has to be splinted as it heals so that
it will be normal. I am well fed, thanks to the Red Cross who have also
given each POW a personal kit, and getting plenty of sleep. I am to live
with British officers but Dick Scott is also in the same building so we
can talk old times. The Doctor I now have is also British. My letter writing
is limited but I can receive any amount. Any letters about people from anyone
will be most welcome. My address is on the reverse side. -I do hope that
you both have had a good summer and are in the best of health. I will miss
both your birthdays this year but I will be thinking of you with best wishes
for many more. Give my love to Mary and Keith and tell them I am OK and
happy. Until we are all back together again keep happy and cheerful and
everything will turn out for the best.
Tell us your story
