MY DEAR MOTHER & DAD,

Once again a short p.c. to let you know I am still well, & I do hope you are also. I am still without any news from you & I again suggest that if you have not already done so to try & send me a cable c/o The American Consul, Tunis. Try sending letters via the Swiss Red Cross, also by Air Mail, & also others via Tangiers. Hope you will have a happy Christmas & every good wish for the New Year & for Mother’s birthday. My thoughts are always with you. All my love
[
