Scope and content
Autograph letter signed to Mummie, Daddy, and Nancy, from on board the R.M.S. Aquitania, on his second trip to America, autumn of 1929. His cabin is better than last year, and he recognises many of the crew. Comments that Molly is travelling in expensive luxury. He knows few people on board and is going to spend the journey resting and reading. Thanks his mother for the lovely cigarette case.
