Will Lynch is packing to leave his Shanghai "jail" and has his cabin assignment on the ship leaving soon. Roselyn
June 27, 1942. Saturday 202nd Day.
Fine weather.
Though I applied yesterday for a pass, none was granted. Went down town anyway. All afternoon leave cancelled.
About 6:00 p.m., 2 men from Swiss Consulate brought down our tickets and red ribbon badges--to indicate "Officials". I have Cabin 201, Bed A, on B Deck, First Class, with bath and toilet. Seems ok.
Killed time by winning cribbage from Messrs. Groves and Hinke, and checkers from JBS. Lost a rummy game to JBS, supposed to be Championship of Cathay Mansions. (Where he was living during captivity by Japanese in Shanghai).
War news from North Africa continues "lousy".
I'll probably draw Cairo as a post, in time to get "captured" again.
I weigh 185 pounds, or a loss of 25 pounds. Walking did most of it.
Feel fine.
June 28, 1942. Sunday. 203rd Day.
Wet.
Had roast goose with J.J. James, wife and daughter, Henry Frances Parks and Hal Mills in Jimmy's Kitchen, owned by Mr. James.
Movie in afternoon with A.M.
Whew! Packing! What a job to get all in 3 pieces.
1:00 a.m., in morning.
Bath and to bed as will be wakened by 4:30 a.m.
