Life is very monotonous & confined here since there are no working parties to take one out of the compound. It is not easy to feel contented but the time passes quickly. Please tell me the dates of all letters etc that you receive from me so that I can find out if all get through, Send me a lot of photos if you can, toothpaste, nail brush & other such necessities when you can. Longing for your first letter Write often, please, dearest Always yours. John
