Letter from Arthur Jolly to Miss M Nicholas in South Australia
From: Letter in the AtticThe letter is written from 11 Wilbury Gardens, Hove to High School, Murray Bridge, South Australia and expresses AJ’s thanks for a recent parcel. AJ writes that there were many Australians in Brighton and Hove during the war, and they themselves had had navel cadets billeted with them, one of whom had been killed when his ship was torpedoed in the Indian Ocean. AJ writes of the conditions of austerity under which they were living and of the various ‘social service developments’ which were taking place, which AJ says seems wrong when the country’s financial position with the rest of the world was in such a ‘critical state’. AJ also writes about his son who had been much missed when evacuated to Canada during the war.
