British Prisoner of War Camp Militaire Aumale Algerie Afrique du Nord. [page break] From 1 Mrs Hudson 191 Halifax Nelson Lancs Eng [page break] 191 Halifax Rd. Nelson [underlined] Lancs [/underlined] England. Tuesday July 8th 1941 My dear Douglas. Since writing to you on Sunday we have been delighted to receive 1 post-card 18/4/41 & 3 letters 18/4/41 – 7/5/41 — 4/5/41 in that order. 1 p.c. & 2 letters yesterday & 1 letter this morning. The letters (2) from Medea have come much more quickly that from Kef. & both bear stamps total value 3f. 50c. We have received letters marked “par avion” which do not bear stamps & one letter without stamps has the words “par avion” partly erased, post-marked very clearly Tunis 23.IV.41. Sousse 24.IV.41. There are several indistinct post-marks on the letters received together yesterday afternoon. Including Accrington 6.45 am. July 7th. which means, so my ex – post — master neighbour tells me, that they must have been wrongly sorted in London & sent to Accrington by mistake. But it really is very wonderful that we do receive the letters so regularly, in such troubled days & we are thankful indeed for the facility offered to keep in touch with each other. I am still awaiting the reply to my cable sent June 30th. (5/- prepaid reply) & this [indecipherable word] I must give it up as lost & try again tomorrow and hope for [page break] better luck. It was a great joy to us to learn that you were living under much happier conditions at Medea. & we are wondering if that fact that you have been moved to Aumale means that you have more restrictions. How thankful we shall be when the whole terrible business is over. This part of the world [indecipherable word] world has been very beautiful this spring. The weather this past 3 weeks has been marvellous with grand sunshine by day & moonshine by night. Our house is situated very high & we get full advantage of so much beauty. Our strawberries are not a great success. What are ripe so far we have passed across the fence to the lady next door. (She is very sweet & reminds me so much of Grandma) The raspberries are coming on but everything needs rain & many things are dying for need of it. Dad & I have spent a lot of time watering the plants to try to keep them alive. We simply love outside the house & during Dad’s holiday week (last week) were scarcely ever inside. The rooms are very small & I have [inserted] not [/inserted] got anything near straightened up yet. There is nowhere to put things away tho it is surprising how things do settle down in time. I had a very nice letter from Ian Latham last week. I had previously sent your latest cables for him to read. & he was very pleased. I am glad you have been able to write him a letter. He has been a real friend, any how & believe me they are more precious than gold. Dad & I found that out some months ago. I often wonder if Shakespeare had any friends. Do you remember he wrote “The friends thou hast& their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of [underlined] steel.” [/underlined] Now once again Goodbye & God bless you always. All our love. Mother & Dad 755052 Hudson Camp Militaire Aumale Algerie Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Yesterday we received your cable dated 15th. Well, love, cable prepaid reply. & now we are wondering if you are not receiving the weekly cables we have been sending since you were moved to Medea[?] will reach you now, as the name on the cable is Airmale[sic] & not Medea as before. However by the time you get this letter all the foregoing will be ancient history. [new paragraph symbol] Well love I don’t seem to have any interesting news for you. Dad has gone back to the Works, as he left men working & I’ve just been reading the “Guardian”. We still take the usual morning pennyworth that we [indecipherable word] enjoyed together & Dad shares the Guardian with some one at the works. As you know there’s usually some good reading in it & we are[?] pleased with the opportunity to read it. [new paragraph symbol] Yesterday here was a very lovely day – I might say [page break] almost the first real summer’s day. It has been bitterly cold all the Springtime & I’ve not yet put my bed-socks away. Today we’ve not had much[?] sunshine – it has been close & heavy & now we’ve got grey skies which can mean anything or nothing. This afternoon I’ve been pottering around in my little garden. We’ve had a lovely show of forget-me-nots & arabis & now I’m trying to prepare for another display next Spring. You remember the rookery at Kersal. This garden had a grassy bank in a similar position & Dad & I have pulled all the grass out & put little plants here & there, hoping for the best & hoping for the very best of all that peace may be with us & you safely home again. How we just live for that day! We are eagerly looking forward to your letters from Medea. Our last letter from Le Kef was dated 4/4/41. Have I told you previously that sending the letters Air Mail doesn’t seem to make much difference. [deleted] As [/deleted] The one dated 7/3/41 arrived after the 4/4/41 all in the same week. Some letters have stamps & some without. The first one to arrive without stamps we had 6d to pay but not on any others. Am glad the authorities look after your teeth. The little trip would be a welcome change. I hope you have been able to settle again in your new abode & that you are able to do a little home-making. Now love good-night once again & God bless you all the time. Faith hope & love. I could send a better message could I? All our love. Mother & Dad. 755052 Sgt. Chef.
