File 43. - Letter from Ifor to his mother,

Describes how snow fell yesterday and the cold has not quite gone, but otherwise the weather in April has been lovely. Ifor discusses how monotony and hopelessness have become a part of their daily lives; memories of his prior life makes letter writing an unpleasant task. He recognises the efforts people are making to get him freed but realises their efforts are futile. He then moves back to the subject of nationality as invited to do so by his father who accused him of having an idealised view of the perfect Celt. Following on, he writes about his joy at receiving a letter from Defynnog and with the censors permission will send the information he requested (likely information on the activities of Cymdeithas Gymraeg). He finishes off on the subject of parcel deliveries, acknowledging a recent package he has received. He asks his mother to make arrangements with Selfridge's to deliver 2 parcels per week, providing a list of what he would like in each. Thus 'parcels would be satisfactory and fraud prevented'.
