Kriegsgefangenenlager
Datum: 18th May 1943
Two bottles of Argotone arrived today for which I am deeply grateful. Still being tasteless & having been so for a long time now I’m thoroughly sick of the wretched condition & if the Argotone can work the trick I shall be overjoyed. It was typically kind of you my dearest to have the stuff sent & I just hope that if works. I have little other news, no mail from you but odd old ones from Barnet came trickling in. There must be a flood from Lido somewhere enroute. I hope you and Frances are well - Don’t forget that holiday this year. Fondest Love
John.
