"Well, dears, it's Hilda's birthday iu two days' time. How we would likerfo see you now and all of the dears, but it's a mighty good job for you not to be here.

So you would not be very fat on thet, dears, but It will be better when we get the mnt ration cards, as everyone will get his share. The things came from the Ftore today, but no card. That means another two weeks to go without. How about the men there? Do they gt called up or not? And how do the Englishmen stand there?

Well, I do hope this letter won't get destroyed or sent back, as I don't think I'm putting anything to hurt an. one down here." |
