He says there are 18 miles of corridors in the station and that you can get lost here. Says Detroit is nearby and Buffalo too. Says the food is terrible, everything is rationed, not like Lachine at all.Asks for some sweets, said everything was fine in the last parcel she sent him except the lobster had spoiled.
