Don Winer, of Exeter, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs, Oren Winer, of Hamilton, will be read with in terest by his many friends whose best wishes follow him: In Transit, South Africa, February 28, 1943 Deax- Mom and Dad: You've probably been wondering where I’ve been keeping myself lately and how I’ve been getting along. You’ll have a telegram from me when you receive this, telling you all is well. I might add, all is very, very wedd. The trip down was quite unexciting, with days of brilliant sunshine and lots of fresh air. On our arrival here in South Africa we felt as if we were arriving home again. American influence is wide spread, making this country much like Canada. There are many points of difference, though, such as the abundance of fresh tropical fruit and the negros. We have been eat ing more than a share of fresh pine apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, peaches, pears, plums and apples, Yesterday I had a ride, in a rick shaw pulled by a giant negro in full Zulu regalia. We’re under canvas here, but it’s really fun, because the weather is grand and climate suitable. I like the country a lot, but my stay here will be shorter than I had hoped for. Don’t worry if you receive no mail for several more weeks, absolutely safe and headed for safety. In the meantime keep ing and look after yourself, my regards to everyone.
