Diaries

George Beck: January 9, 1944

Another usual Sunday, nothing to do but sit and think, its enough to drive a fellow mad. I write and tell folks everything is O.K. and I'm contented but one has to do. The only link we have with the outside world is with letters and even these have stopped. I've practically forgot what the wife looks like now. When one is a prisoner it's queer what strange things enter a man’s head whilst thinking, my thoughts run away with me sometimes and passages stated in the wife's letters make things worse, for God's sake roll on. Bed 8 p.m.
