Fine, cloudy.

Chopped fire-wood.

Saw Steve pm. Spoke on matters of the future which are rather rosy if all we hear about staff alterations come true.

District chairmen held meeting & Hattori's statements were discussed.

Convoy of several ships arrived am. Parcels? Canteen gear arrived & small amount of toothpwdr & toilet paper from the Japs.

Much guessing as to which Dom. it is refusing to comply with Jap requirements & to what the req's may be.

3hrs work today. Calories expended 5,100, received 1,700 (10 biscuits & 1 double ration) Is it worth it?

Posted card to Marj.
