Hello dearest, was relieved today at 1 oclock, was fishing in a lake with a bent pin at the time. Hope to home very shortly. I am very fit and well, have been eating a lot just lately. Cant think of much to say, I guess I am too excited, I've gone right off my food. An armoured car came along, gosh were we glad to see it.
All my love
Walt.
