It is just great being in direct contact once again. I was very surprised to get mail addressed to this camp so soon. I am glad to hear that you are all well and I'm hoping that you are not worrying too much. My luck still holds so much so that I'm sure it must be the result of your prayers and intercessions as I know my own unworthiness. My constant prayer is to be made more worthy of the love of my parents and fiancée and to be returned to you in health.

This life is better in many ways than one might visualise but it will of course leave its mark and it is a consolation to me that my loved ones are wise, kind and loving and will be understanding of changes in me. I am now well off for clothes and my first parcel from you and NZ House will put me right.
