Letter to RD's family from RD and Ella, written on board ship during their return journey from the USA. Relates to: their recent meeting with the American Donats; the slackening of tension on board when the conference news came through [presumably news of the Munich Agreement]; the news from Europe, which RD knows will please his father; and RD's concern to provide for his parents during the coming winter.
Holograph. Written on the headed paper of the Holland-America Line, from the RMS Nieuw Amsterdam.
