Sometimes if we get back to villages which are inhabitated inhabited, we buy French bread. It's good rye bread.

The rumour was that the Australian mail closed in 4 days time, but a few minutes ago, someone burst in & said it closed at 4 to day. So I sat down hurriedly & wrote this. Give my best love to all. I do hope everyone including my nephew is O.K. Your loving son
