Letter from Sailor in Australia Describes Willington Visit
A Kansas Illinois woman reports a brother in the Navy aboard the USS Richmond sending a Melbourne Australia clipping about Americans. Harold Burkett writes from Willington New Zealand August 16 1925 praising Melbourne and New Zealand life noting American made machinery and currency exchange rates. He describes Willington as similar in size to Terre Haute and recounts crowds at docks and Australian hospitality. The clipping retells a Melbourne editorial on how real Americans act abroad and urges mutual understanding through personal contact.
