Leading Seaman Albert Joseph Hemenway wrote from HMS Grasshopper, c/o GPO Malta. He states his hope that God will spare them to bring the boxes home shortly so they can show their friends and relations what has made them cheerful. He adds that he started at 14 in the Cake Moulding room, joined the navy at 15¼, and has now served 12 years with 2 years 8 months still to do. His sister forwards the Cocoa Works Magazine and he has seen the Lord Mayor's photos in last month's. He encloses a black embroidered ribbon from the ship as a souvenir.
