Dear Mum and dad,

Hi mum and dad how are you? You guys doing ok? I miss you guys A LOT like crazy but there is a picture in my head of us together that will stay in my mind, and thankyou so much for all that you have sent me. I appreciate all the foods,clothing and all the sweets that you have sent me and I still have 8 more tinns and 5 chocolate blocks so that will last me a couple more days well hopefully.

The weather has been so BAD past these few weeks. There was a storm last night and out of no where, lightning bolts flashed in the night sky all kinds of colours appeared. It was so bad that we all got drenched even our clothes and our tins broke open so now there is tinned food splattered all over the ground and our mattresses and blankets, oh man don’t get me started with that. they are as hard as a rock! They got muddy and the sun dried up the mud so now we have to find water to keep in wet so that our blankets and mattresses can go back to normal. But yea the weather is fine now and were prepared for whatever strikes at us.

Also, one of my friends ( Brian) got really sick early this morning. He starting coughing and complaining that his throat was getting tighter but  I don’t know how or what it is but he is in a really bad condition and he has not woken up yet but he is in good hands because one of our nurses ( Elizabeth) has been treating him with medicines and is making sure that he does not have any kind of disease that could of spreaded. And another bloke ( Frank) broke his leg while digging and passed away a couple of days ago so we had some sad days but great memories.

Once again Mum and dad, thankyou so much for the wonderful foods that you have sent me and please send all my Love to the rest of the family, please pass on this letter to all my friends and I love you. XOXO

From your Beloved
