My dear Joan.
You can’t realize the shock I had on Saturday night when arriving home at 7 pm & finding your Mum’s letter waiting for me, along with 5 more. Well, I really don’t know what to say, only we both are extremely sorry to hear the sad news, but hope & pray for his safety, you must not give up hope yet, I have a cousin who was missing a long time & she heard (his wife) that he was a Prisoner-of-War in Japs hands, she still thinks he will return safely home to her, & I hope they are right. I think to be a P.O.W. in Japs hands, is the worse of the lot. I felt too worn out during the weekend to write you, anyhow, I shall look for better news from you. So [indecipherable word]
[page break]
did you receive my letter last week from Guiseley?
So glad to hear the good news of Esme’s husband, what a load off her mind.
