Letter from Donald Baker to his mother

Letter from Donald Baker to his mother

Reports arrival of mail and comments on how poor delivery has been. Comments on news from home. Mentions Rhodesians repatriated and lists his current room mates. Glad that tobacco prices were good and they should be able to afford a trip to England after the war.
