BeschreibungLetter dated 11 November 1938 sent to Jurgen Steuerwald in England from his friend Rolf Luder (?). He writes that he hoped that Jurgen arrived (in England?) safely and that he likes it there. He requests that Jurgen send him the 'Autographs' (?) as he promised. [ Perhaps 'autographs' is a euphemism for something else, like a visa?]
This letter forms part of a collection of letters and postcards dating from the 1930’s that were sent to Jurgen Steuerwald in England, the majority, from his mother, living in Germany and his brother Gerhard, living in Australia. The contrast between the descriptions of life in Australia and England where the two brothers live in safety, and of the fear and danger borne by their mother living in Germany provide a striking contrast.
