They did not know, we hoodwinked them a treat it was a marvellous bit of work I never expected to get off with out a fight. I was a lot thinner weaker and dirtier when I left the peninsula than ever I was before I had a moustache and a billy goat beard you ought have seen me I bet Mum would not have known me I did not know myself when I looked in to a glass. I have regained all my health and strength again and am waiting for the next go. Sending my best love to Mum and yourself and hoping you are well
I remain
Your loving brother
