The records of this Department show that you are in receipt of family allowance and allotments totalling 84s. 6d per week, and this rate of payment will be continued by means of your present order book up to and including order number 41 for week due for payment on 16th December, 1943. If your husband is still missing after that week payment may continue for a further period of nine weeks unless in the meantime further information regarding him is received, when you will be notified of any amendment which may in consequence be necessary.
