James O'Toole in Shamshuipo:

Sent letter to Alan (Barwell) & 1 yen. There is some talk of them being sent away, hope so, for news of my safety & well being to reach England....

Now allowed to write 25 words on a p.c. twice in three months, to Stanley counting as a turn. Letters come in every Sunday as a rule.
