My dear Douglas.
Today I have sent a short cable assuring you that we are well. & that we received your very welcome message on May 22nd. We are very eagerly awaiting letters from you. It is many weeks since we had one. & the last p.c. we had was dated Jan. 17th [symbol] Dad & I had a very nice letter from Ted Hole who is stationed not very far from our old home. He called at No 10 & finding what we were away got out address from some one in the vicinity. He didn’t say who gave him the information but no doubt it would be Mrs Kay. He tells that they sold the Austin when both boys were mobilized but he intends that some of them will come to see us here “if ever we have to walk all the way” – about 13 miles. No doubt in the old days Mr Hole would have thought nothing about it, but poor health will now have curtailed his activities. Yesterday was a remarkable day & our outlook
[page break]
most beautiful with visibility for many miles. The light & shade effects gave me a great deal of pleasure & our garden is a joy. Masses of bright blue forget me nots white Anabis & yellow Leopand Baue – you know those big yellow daisies that grew so well at Ponsley – made a very pleasing picture. & we both simply love living here. The rooms inside the house are very small & much of the furniture is just pushed in. but everyone agrees that we have been fortunate to be able to rent a house in Nelson in such a pleasant situation. We area 2d bus ride from the town. but it is not a very great distance. Bus fares are much dearer here than in the large towns.
Well love we are wondering all the time how things are with you. I have searched in vain for Medea on our (or your) small map of Algeria. (School atlas you know.) I like to try to picture the place where you abide. & it is very likely that my imagination runs away with me. & I get the perspective all wrong. Your last letter was sent to Calverley for all to read. Uncle Jim was so delighted with it that he made copies to send to Marjorie & to Dorothy Cowling. Dorothy Calvert wrote by Air Mail to Le Kef. the day we had the cable with your new address. Wonder if any of the letters will reach you. Do hope you will get some of them. All love from
Mother & Dad.

Royal Air Force. 755052. Sgt. J. D. Hudson.
Camp de Séjour Surveillé
Aumale. Algerie.
Afrique du Nord.
19-6-41
My Dear Mother & Dad
My last letter was written to you on the 15th June in reply to your letter dated May 24th received on that date. In that letter you suggested sending a cable with a pre-paid reply & therefore I wired you immediately asking you to do so & I was very glad to receive your cable reply to-day with a “Bond” for 72 francs which I wonder is it equal to 5/-? To-morrow I shall send you a telegram worded as follows:- “Removed Camp Militaire Aumale Algerie, received all cables, several letters, latest dated May 29th, writing twice weekly, well late [inserted] in form [indecipherable word] [/inserted] Hudson” My earlier letters will have explained that we left Médéa to come to this place on May 30th, I have been very pleased to receive your cables & if occasionally you send pre-paid replies it will make it much easier for me to cable you. On June 16th, that is three days ago I received your cable, telling about the “chestnut trees in bloom bring happiest, [inserted] memories [/inserted] renewed hopes – all love” It is two years ago that we saw these together and I hope with all my heart it will not be another two years before we may be together to see them again. To-day I was very pleased to receive your Air Mail letter dated May 29th, hence the last bit of my cable. Practically all your earlier letters I have received, & judging from the tone of both letters & cables you seem to be very
[page break]
happy in your new home. I realise that you will like it a lot better if you have a garden and such a good view. I do hope that the luck will hold for you both. For about 5 days now there has not been a cloud in the sky & it is getting increasingly warmer & the flies are beginning. We have stopped playing football in the evening and play base-ball – the American game instead, it is not so strenuous. Since we arrived here it has rained twice, each time thunder rain. Now the ground is baked hard and is getting brown. There are no vines here, in fact a very disappointing terrain after Médéa, very unhospitable & dry. Médéa was really a fertile spot & indeed pleasant. I am getting gradually browner, chest and back, I mean properly brown not that stupid red colour I got in England. It requires great caution [deleted] [indecipherable word] [/deleted], I dare not attempt to sunbathe now except in the early morning walks & in the evening to play baseball without a shirt. What do you think of the stamp collection on the envelope? Are you keeping the stamps you receive? On each envelope there is 3 francs, 50 centimes worth of stamps. If the rate of exchange (that is if there is a rate of exchange) is 176 francs to the £1. it costs about the same from here for Air Mail letters as from Blighty. But the Air Mail letters from here appear to be very slow. Some control must hold them up a long time. You said you could not find Médéa on the map. It is 60 miles South of Alger. & Aumale is 75 miles East South East of Médéa. The desert is not far from here, in fact some Arabs have camels here. Most supercilious looking animals, & filthy dirty in spite of their smirking appearance. And now good-bye, with all my love & best wishes. Keep your chin up.
Douglas.
