Lettercard from Les Pickford to his mother

The only interesting thing to happen is that it has stopped snowing. Still no parcel. He needs socks and cigarettes.

[missing word] Ma,

Nothing of interest Has Happened Here since my last card except it Has stopped snowing and We get a little sun each Day. We had a Visit from a Red cross Representative yesterday. We have’nt had any Red Cross Parcels for some time now or cigs. I’m still Looking forward to your Parcel which Has not arrived yet. I am badly [missing word] need of socks. I’ve only got two [indecipherable] and they’re darned all over. I Hope you had a Better Xmas than we did. It was just another day to us. Please don’t worry we get along O.K. in spite of Petty Hardships. We are all cheerful and in good Health and spirits and I Hope this card finds you all as it Leaves me.

your Loving Son,

Leslie
