8/8/41.

Dear Ma,

I hope all is well at home, and, that you are in the same good health and spirit I’m in. I have been on fatigues today, which helps to pass the time for us. Time is the worst part of being a prisoner. We had a big concert on Sat, and have been going long walks every afternoon. We have had three lectures and a debate since my last letter. The mornings are passed by having Breakfast and drawing our daily supply of Bread. The afternoons and Evenings we pass with lectures concerts or walks.

Lots of Love

Leslie
