Dear Wing Commander Cheshire,
It was most kind of you to write when my brother W.O.2 Brian de Courcy O'Grady was reported missing. I apologise for not thanking you before this, but the thought that I might hear good news at any time, if I were just to ignore the first report, has kept me from writing.
I have not by any means

given up hope that he is safe somewhere, and shall continue to look forward to hearing further news from you.
In the meantime, thank you again for your very kind note.
Sincerely.

Dear Mr Valentine
As a business friend of your father’s I write you telling you that my company in England, Messrs. ASEA Electric Ltd in London, has asked me to try to get in touch with you and find out if you have any special wishes and in such a case help you. Through the Swedish organisation “ Hjalp Krigets Offer” and their secretary Mr Henry Soderberg I got to know some days ago that he had met you on the 2nd of March in Stalag Luft 6. I am glad to hear that you are well off. I also got to know that you want a violin bow and I have arranged for sending you a bow which is said to be rather good and I hope that when this letter reaches you, same has arrived. If there are other things which you should like to have from hear and which it is permitted to send over, I should only be too glad to help you. I understand that you have got some literature from Mr Rolf Bjorkland in Stockholm but may be there are some other things which could help you to shorten the time. If so, please only send me some lines at your opportunity under my address as given below.
Hoping to hear from you and to see you when this terrible war is over, I send you my very best regards.
Yours sincerely

My Dear Mother & Dad,
Just a short note to thank you for your letters received & to tell you that I & the boys are all O.K.
Hope you will excuse me for being brief, but I have been on duty all night & I am in sad need of a wash & bed.
I hope to get away next week on the 6th or 7th but as yet do not know just what time it will be.
[page break]
Am pleased to be able to tell you that the young “pedigree” is still thriving & seems to be well beyond the stage of teething troubles. He is becoming a faithful hound & a favourite with the boys
Well I’ll bid you au-revoir now & send my love & best wishes as at all times.
Douglas
