Note:

Edgar asks not to be sent anything because he knew previous Red Cross parcels had not been delivered to him. He probably suspected they were being intercepted by Japanese officials.

Thick, low cloud. Strong wind and heavy rain. We had some sunshine this afternoon. Milled rice for bread. Carrying food. With Steve in the evening. Heard nothing new ((i.e. war news.))
