Thomas Edgar writes home and includes a message for another family from Windsor:
Dear Mother & All,
We are all very fit, please do not send us anything. Please convey Meredith Clarence Road son fit and well.
Lena and Tommy
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.
