Received another lot of cigarettes from you today. Thanks a lot! I don’t think any parcels or cigarettes you have sent me have been lost, as I have received them every month. The parcels are always received in good condition, and I appreciated them very much. It is nice to know that the people at home are thinking of the “boys” over here.
