Dec. 27th – No action today – The Japanese are going to cut our ration again – Well, it means just so much more determination – It is no longer possible to fight this fight on the plane of physical life – We must fight it on the spiritual plane – We must do this to survive –

We hear the military are moving out of Manila – I hope so – Perhaps we’ll be better off. As it is, the boys better get here quickly, or there will be no one left –

There is nothing like a good fight – From now on it will be a corker!!

Mrs Christianson has gone insane – The Japanese refuse to let us send her to a hospital for mental cases – She is violent – How can we take care of her here?!
