LETTER: [Llewelyn T. Griffith] S.S. H.H. Asquith, Newport News, [Virginia] to his daughter Eleanor congratulating her on a good reference from Mr. Pritchard. He would not like her to take a post too far from home. He enquires about her finances. There were 87 ships there, all awaiting orders, there was reason to believe the government were showing preference to American ships. He had been checking the machinery. He wonders if he had done the right thing in leaving her all alone.
