("Very many thanks for the magazine sections of the N.Z. Listener. These arrived quite a few weeks ago and I must apologise for not having acknowledged them earlier, The books are very interesting, so much so, that I am still filling in my spare time with them. The broadcast reprints, articles, and film reviews are quite an education, and serve to show us of¢the old world that the new not only shares a common language with us, but a common outlook, too; a faet which we of the mother country are apt to overlook at times. One article tells the story of Durban’s ‘Lady in White’-a figure remembered by thousands of us who went round the Cape, en route for ‘Heaven knew where.’ She was on the Docks at Durban when I arrived there, and her fine rendering of many well-known songs brought tears to the eyes of many men, already homesick, and by this time, sick to death of it all.’"]
