Messages we could get were through the Red Cross. We were able to send a message of, I don’t know how many words, say 10 or 12 words, possibly once a month, and we’d also receive one. Its very difficult to send a letter or a message and have something to say. But the sort of thing my brother might send to us was a message reading — ‘Very well, got new bike, seeing Martel next week, love to all’ — and that’s it. So that kept us going, and thinking out messages.
