Scope and content

Jonathan Pritchard gives details of his crossing to the United States aboard the SS "Samaria". He describes conditions on board as "rather squashed" in tourist class as cabin class took up too much space and says "nearly every race" was on the ship. Mentions Jeremy and Molly [Pritchard], and Jill and Dick [Harrison], and refers to the sinking of the "Arandora Star" 12 miles away.
