- My poor old John Henry was amongst the Haiphong Road lot (that day was one of the worst I’ve ever lived through) they were taken up to Peking six weeks age, but we hear that they have been released and are coming down here as soon as the armistice is signed. Mac and Olive are well, by the note I get yesterday, she is still in Chapei, like me waiting for permission for non-essentials to leave camp, he is already down town, seeing to the office, which is a mercy for him, I don’t know how he has lived through these years without it. It is odd that the circle has come full round, I am sure that when I said goodbye in Feb: 1943 I never expected there would be another meeting.
This letter is going by air, as promised by the American mission that visited here two days ago. I will write to you again as soon as I know anything about sailings. I think that the H & S Bank here is the only possible address, and the same in London if I have to go to England direct. (I forgot to say that the Route Ghisi flat went six months before camp; and Li has retired to Foochow) You are all in my thoughts daily; I don’t know how to picture the children, Elizabeth hardly that any longer. My dearest love goes to you all, and the hope that we may be together very shortly…do you know it still seems like a dream to be writing that?
God bless you all,
Ever affectionately,
Peggy
