\nThis carries with it my love and good wishes to all near and dear. As I am only able to write one card please pass on my news to all. Have been here since Feb\/42. Am well & weigh 160 pounds. As I was fished out of the sea like a lobster pot I am destitute of anything but what I am able to beg or borrow. Have had no cash for months. A parcel of toilet things pants & vests would be welcome. We wear very little, no news obtainable from our staff. Betty passed out when we were in the sea. Mona is here, Mrs Mellor died 3 months ago. Mellor I am afraid has gone crackers. Advise my Newport bank I am alive. Request Coy. to send me funds when possible. Am on the camp hospital staff & find the work interesting. Trust you Sylvia & John Keep well. Maurice Phillips sends greetings. All the best from, H.P. Kendall.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
