One of 2 and a half pages of letter from Dorothy to her mother, on P&O headed notepaper, from aboard the SS Soudan. En route to South Africa, heading for short stop at Capetown. Talks of: 'baby': life on ship; 'tiny black babies' that she has never seen before and their mothers' interest in Irene; the coal strike at home; difficulty of dressing for dinner with 6 weeks of not being able to wash clothes; ship gossip as told her by nurse.
