8TH April 1944
My Dearest Mother, Today is the first of real spring weather & is really marvellous especially after such a protracted winter. We all feel much more cheerful on days like today Expect we shall be hearing the cuckoos soon although I cant see anything to rave about in their call. No mail from you since last writing but shall probably have a month to wait and then receive four together again. You probably did not receive my letter asking for the address of I.Y.Rs relatives in England, as youve [sic] never mentioned it. They wrote to me in England offering to put me up for a weekend there, and I kept putting off thanking them until I became a prisoner. However they’ve probably forgotten that by now. I have been attending a few lectures per week on agriculture, but as usual with me its in one ear & out of the other. This section of the camp seems to be quite a seat of learning – lectures all day & everyday on all kinds of subjects. There are two [deleted] [indecipherable letter] [/deleted] Rhodesian tobacco farmers here – Ray Hill & Coulland-Cooper both from Banket Area I think. Well mother I expect this will reach you about July, near enough four years since I left home, and Im [sic] afraid it looks as if I shan’t see you much before the end of the 5TH. You will probably hardly recognise me as, if age counts for anything, I should be a man, & I left you at 19. No doubt Charlton will have changed too – with the jacaranda trees on the drive fully grown. Ive [sic] no doubt it all looks lovely & I get so impatient waiting to see you all again. Anthony is pretty fit & Ken Wilson is OK. having just recovered from a dose of ‘flu. Im [sic] in the best of health & hope this finds you all the same. Your loving son Donald.
