BOK/VH Ref: RAF/M 2444
14th December, 1944.
Mrs. J. Valentire,
Felmersham,
Bottrells Lane,
Chalfont St. Giles,
Bucks.
Dear Mrs. Valentine,
re: [underlined] 1251404 Warrant Officer J. Valentire [/underlined]
Thank you for your letter, which we received on December 12h. The map of the Prisoner of War camps has already been sent to you and although you will not find Stalag 357 marked on it, it is situated at Oerbke near Fallingbostel, which is in square C.4.
We know that the censorship of all letters for R.A.F. Prisoners of War at Stalag Luft 3 delays their delivery very seriously and think that you can quite well try sending letters to your husband to Stalag 357 omitting Stalag Luft 3 from the address. We cannot, of course, guarantee that they will reach him any more quickly, but you may think it worth the attempt.
P.T.O.

We hope you will soon hear from your husband again.
Yours sincerely,
p.p. E.M. THORNTON
Director.

WRITE [underlined] VERY CLEARLY [/underlined] ON THE LINES TO AVOID DELAY IN CENSORSHIP NO ENCLO-SURES ALLOWED
DATE Wednesday 13 December 1944
Hello darling. I seem to have quite a few items of news today - firstly, Willis is home again after four years. I have not seen him yet, altho’ he has been to the shop - no doubt I shall be running into him. I was surprised to see Ethel Saxelby yesterday, she is here for a few days as her father is dying. She has two children, Tony four and Jane two. She was alone however when I saw her. I had a letter and Christmas cards from Effie yes-terday, she has sent off a parcel including some sleeping suits for David and a kiddies book for Diane from David. I do appreciate her extreme kindness, and shall endeavour to repay it in some way when things are normal. I had a greetings card from Clark today - he is a Sergeant! Christmas shopping is something more than a headache - my list seems to grow each year but people have been so good to David I feel I have to give a little in return.
Dorothy and I are taking the boys to visit Hilda Waring tomorrow, altho’ I shall definitely not go if the weather does not improve - it has been bitterly cold and foggy today, and I dont [sic] intend letting David face such weather, as I cant [sic] take a pram. He by the way is really lovely, he tries awfully hard to talk and says ‘Dadda’ quite plainly. Must tell you, I saw Bing Crosby in ‘Sing you sinners on Monday - the scene where they sang ‘Small Fry’ was absolutely terrific. I did think of you dear, I wish you had been there.
I am wondering if Eva and Willis will get married - she and Joan thought of having a double wedding
