Reports arrival of three of their letters. Catches up with family news and is glad they had received his letters. Glad that all is well at home and hopes it will not be long before they are together again. Writes he is still keeping well.

My Dear Mother & Dad,
Thank you very much for 3 letters dated 1st. 5th & 8th Dec. received this week, also one from John. This is the only thing I can use as a p.c. I was surprised to hear about Dorothy. I am very glad to receive all your letters. Write by air mail also, it only takes 3 weeks. It is good to hear that all is O.K. at home, & I hope it won’t be too long before we are together again. I am still keeping well & am looking forward to the days of freedom. Every best wish for Mother’s birthday on Sunday. Hope everything will continue well.
All my love, Douglas.
