My dearest Maz,

I fear that this must of necessity be a very short and hurried note as the mail collector will soon be having his impatience tested beyond endurance.  Before that happens I just have time to tell you that all goes well with me and that you are so much in my thoughts.  There is no news of any interest which I can tell you – I have still received no letters from anyone, a galling experience under the circs but one which, if nothing else, gives me something big to look forward to.  I’ve managed a few odd games of poker recently with, considering the low stakes, considerable success.  I really must fly so will close – God bless.  Maz dear, much love to you all and to dear old Pari and the Elli.  Longing to hear from you and to see you again.

Ever yours

very affectionately,

                        Peter
