From Bill in Wheatley. Bill wishes Hella a happy birthday. A present has been sent with the letter which appears to be a book by Rilke, something for her to read whilst she is in hospital. His mother sends her regards and is sending something from London. He did not want to send a big present which she would have to bring over again and the present is late as it was difficult to get it. He appears to be back at school and is finding it hard work and is tired when they return to camp. Bill is pleased to report that the instructor thinks he is quite good. He thanks her for her last letter and is pleased her BSR is back to normal. He apologises for not sending greetings to Gisela before. It was simply an oversight. This will be the first of Hella’s birthdays they have not celebrated together since they met. He thanks her for loving him. He has brought his bicycle to Wheatley and hurt his knee while riding it. With envelope.
Sin títuloFrom Bill at CML, Nicosia. Bill writes that he loves Hella very much and wants them to try again. He has no news she will not have heard on the radio. The wireless is still broken and the army will not pay him £5 [for fixing it]. He has broken the large ashtray and hopes to get it mended after the Greek celebration of Easter. He hopes she is happy and promises if he gets another chance never to make her sad again. He asks her to write.

Sin títuloFrom Hella to Karl Gessner [‘Onkel Karl’, her mother’s life companion]. It is three days since her return from Berlin. Bill and Hella speak about Onkel Karl a lot as he must be finding it hard to get used to being alone. In the meantime they hope he has heard from Hanni. Bill and Hella love him, both for his sakes and for her mother’s, and hope that he gets better soon. She talks about her mother’s death and is glad that Bill not only understands her love for her mother, but shares it too.
