Dear Ma,

I have been moved again and am in a more Permanent camp. The food is still the same. We can get out for long walks here with Guards of course. I hope you are as well as I am and in the same good spirits. Some of the Boys captured before me are receiving letters and parcels from home and I’m looking forward to my mail. The Weather is Very much like it is at home.

Lots of love

Leslie.
