Mason (Block 4, Room 25P) writes a card to Miss Isobel Wavell in Farnham Common (Buckinghamshire): Darlings, We are very anxious for news of you both as we have not had a line up to date. We are all very well and do hope you are. It's all very worrying, isn't it? Still we are making the most of this extraordinary life. We only hope the fashions are streamlined when we meet again, which we hope will be soon. You are constantly in our minds, as are also the old times we spent together.
