My Dear Folks
I hope that by this time you will have had some news of me, and will have ceased to worry, - it being 3 weeks now since I descended upon Deutchsland – I have very little news for you, except to say that I have met some old acquaintances in this my new & I think permanent camp. I now consider myself very lucky to be still breathing, and am therefore in no position to grumble at my predicament. All the same, I would like to be in England & still scrapping.
[underlined] You will now have received all my persona stuff, [/underlined] and I would ask you to keep it in good condition as I may need it again sometime. Please smear my gun with grease (including bore & breach-block) and see that it does not rust. As for my car, I leave it to you, you may like to run it during the summer, or may deem it better to sell.
I made an error in my last note, in saying that you could send me food. This is incorrect. Please donate £10 to the “Red Cross” on my behalf, and state that you want a certain number of invalids comforts parcels sending to me – say that they should be sent as often as possible, and that you will make a further donation later. Stress that they must consist of Robinson's Barley, Groats, Quaker oats, or substitute, and tinned milk. Also some Halibut oil capsules and laxative pills – e.g. Pil Cholelith. These things will ensure that I do not suffer from the stomach trouble which you remember I experienced during part of my training.
The Red Cross will inform you of the manner in which clothes parcels may be sent. I understand that a little chocolate can be enclosed, but please make enquiries first. My love to Basil by cable please, and belated Happy Returns to Gwen.
Your Loving Son.
Alan
