LETTER: [Llewelyn T. Griffith] S.S. Karl Leonhardt, Beunos Ayres to his daughter Eleanor, telling her that they were loading to proceed homeward. They were to discharge the cargo at Hamburg, Emden or Rotterdam. The ship was a slow ship. Native industries were not conspicuous, some of the crew had bought parrots and canaries. He hoped to complete the brass stands before they reached home. By the time the letter reached her she would be back at college. The ship had been painted. He had had less headaches in the present ship than for years, perhaps it was the good ventilation of his room.
