Letter. 5 May 1946. On board the Corinthia in Piraeus harbour, about to sail to Salonika. 'We live horribly comfortably. Water is laid on hot and cold day and night while most Athenians only get it turned on for two hours every second day. We live on American rations, some of us feel we emulate the rich of Athens whom we condemn for living in luxury while the people starve'.
