Letter from Peter Lamprey to W Gunton
Peter Lamprey writes complaining that he has had only one letter and that there is no news from his end. He is hoping only to spend 10 days on Tiree and that he was disappointed to miss his leave. He concludes with some light hearted banter.

Letter to Douglas Hudson from his parents
Writes about the cost of food, flowers coming out and comments on the weather. Mentions again the arrival of six letters from him the previous week and glad they were able to celebrate Christmas in camp. Relief to hear they were getting Red Cross parcels but sad that food had been stolen from them before they arrived. Still awaiting reply to cable. Says things had been difficult for last 18 months but hoping for slight improvement. Catches up with family new and quotes from cable she sent. Closes with comments about cables.
