Dear Mr. Stoughton,
When the ship rolls, and dips, and rises and slides again I find there is nothing like being in a horizontal position. Since my pen works less than well upside down this letter is written with the unorthodox pencil.
Yes, I am on my way to Germany via London and Brussels, and am as excited as can be about the opportunity given me to do constructive work in the first organization of International

Cooperation.
UNRRA accepted my application and is sending me as an administrative officer to a Displaced Persons camp in Southern Germany.

group for European operations.
I wish to thank you again very sincerely for whatever part you had in securing my appointment. I am sure that the recommendations of my references were extremely important.
Very truly yours,
Curt Townsend
