My dear Douglas.
Last Monday we were very delighted to receive 6 letters from you dated from August 24th to September 17th & on Thursday we got the cable with Christmas wishes. Thank you so much, love, for all these kind remembrances. On Saturday I sent a cable which we hope you will get just at Christmas. It will be nice for you to have a tangible reminder but you do not need it to assure you of our loving thoughts & wishes always. I suppose it is colder with you now & I’m wondering if you are warmly clad & fed. You will surely miss the kind friends in Tunis at Christmas. I’m so eager to know if you have got any of the Greetings, calendars, (2) & card. When you told of the sad state of your boxing gloves I went to town to enquire about sending a set for you. They were supposed to be very good ones hair-stuffed & were 35/- the set. Then we got instructions from the Red Cross about what we were allowed to send to prisoners in Africa – nothing of a padded nature – so that put an end to my enquiries re boxing gloves. Really love it doesn’t hardly seem worth sending anything
[page break]
unless, of course, you have any real wants, then we would make every effort to fulfil your desires. Yesterday we had per registered post two pound notes (£2) from Jaffes “which please send to your son with our best wishes for Christmas.” I told you in my last letter that Grandad sent you 25/- & Auntie Dorothy 5/- so we will put it away, as usual. I went to see Mrs Clayton on Thursday as I told you in my last letter. Did I tell you she said she had sent you a book for Christmas via Sherrat & Hughes. I was very surprised when she couldn’t tell me the name of it. However you will no doubt let me know if it arrives safely. Did I tell you she is intending to buy the house in Rectory Road outright & to continue to live there? Do you think our help & sympathy, in the past, have been misplaced? We are certainly beginning to think something of the kind. Queer world isn’t it? In one or two letters I have [inserted] written [/inserted] thanking you for so kindly offering such a splendid gift for Christmas. Those things are very scarce & we shouldn’t think of trying to get one until you are here to share the pleasure with us. But thank you so much love for all your kind thought for us. When I write my first new year letter to you I will number it I & will keep a record of numbers & dates. Perhaps then I will be able to form some idea what news you receive from home. Now love my story is ended once again. We are looking forward all the time to peace & joyous reunion, when the story will be unending. Meanwhile all our love & thoughts & prayers from Mother & Dad. Happy New Year!!

Dear Little Janet
I hope you are well and did not upset yourself last night after Daddy went. I had a very good journey up here, and managed to get quite a lot of sleep. I did not get found out with the other mans pass, and so did not get any jankers. Everything is alright now and I cannot get found out.
I wrote to Mummy tonight but forgot to mention that is has been snowing hard all day, and this evening, and is still snowing now. The snow is about 12 inches deep. Tell Mummy will you please.
Much Love from Daddy
