On 3 April 1942, three months after the fall of Hong Kong, Maude’s brother Hugh sent a telegram from Australia enquiring about Maude and Eric and Hugh’s neighbours in Braga Circuit, Kowloon. He did not know if any of them had survived the fall of Hong Kong. Jack’s reply that all Bragas were safe was very reassuring. He has drafted his reply on Hugh’s telegram, which he then placed in his papers.
