“Macedonia”
25 July
Dearest Mother-
We hope to get into Shanghai tomorrow – but I expect it will be at least another fortnight or so before I find the “Widgeon”.
Great excitement when we were nearing Hong Kong last week – as they had a Typhoon – & so we had to turn back and steam away – we arrived safely in the end. I met several friends of mine – who showed me round
A mere handful of people left on board – and it is rather lonely – and very hot.
Hope everyone is very fit and well at home. I am wondering if there will be any letters tomorrow for me on arrival at Shanghai-!
My best love to you
from your ever loving son
Paul
