Since its contents are so interesting and amusing, I asked her if we could share it with our readers. She had no objections whatsoever for which we are very grateful: . read your nice article about Australia. Steve (my husband) was thru there but not in an enjoyable way. He was in the 1st draft at the age of 28, and he was ready to get out when Pearl Harbor broke out. So they put all soldiers from Fort Hamilton on train and sent them to San Francisco. There they were put on troop transport ships. It took them about 20 days to get to Australia to a place called Addelenn (or so, after so many years you don't remember the names of places). There they were put on ships to New Guinea. So that Regards to Dr. Hamos and the Reverend. As always, I remain, Rose Levayi."
