Helen to her cousin Bunny Hudson

This letter was in my mums belongings, Gwen, Bunny’s wife. The letter is from my second cousin, my fathers first cousin Helen who lived in America

My Dad was in the Merchant Navy doing the Atlantic run, which was notoriously dangerous.

My father’s ship was torpedoed twice, once in Malta, the Pampas, and again in America where it was refitted. My Dad was in America, in New York and the great lakes for six months, and met up with his cousins Louie and Helen. My father had an affinity with America all his life.
