Glad to say I am much improved in health and getting better every day, tho' still very weak. On the 3rd the doctor changed me onto Sulphadiquid which is a branch of streptocide group (Pyelitis).

On Thursday 7th I received your loving letter of 28/2/43 from Inverness and I was very thrilled with it and so glad of all your glorious encouragement. Thanks a lot.

There is no news from the outside world so we are in the dark as to the on goings of the war tho' there are rumours about the capture of Pung and expected landing on the China coast. There has been a lot of --- by the Formosan guards amongst the Black Market people, two of whom are in hospital. Glad to say I am keeping a lot better and enjoying my food better. Also I sleep better at night-time.
