HMS Widgeon
Chunking
26th Oct
Dearest Mother-
Very little news for you I’m afraid – We have not had a mail for a long time now – but am hopeful – as HMS Teal arrives up here tomorrow – and she may be bringing one.
Seems to be a lot more trouble brewing on the River these days – mines being laid & more battles – The bandits are quiet for a while – but I see they started at Bias Bay again – A dreadful show aboard the Irene & all those wretched people on that Submarine.
I have sent you off a small Christmas present – 2 sort-of table mats – or anything you like to make them into. Hope they arrive safely- I sent Ruth some as well-
Our Rainy Season has started now & we get some every day. No news of us leaving here for a while-
Hope you are all well.
My best love to you from
Your ever loving son
Paul
