Social History: Sent to Mrs Donovan in Warwick, England:
"We are having a gorgeous holiday & my elementary German is proving useful. We stayed the night (Sat.) at Oberammergau pictured here - it is famous for the passion play which is enacted every ten years - next time 1970. It is a beautiful place & we loved it. We awoke Sunday morning after a thunderstorm during the night to hear the cuckoo through our window & to see the Tyrolean Alps covered with snow all round us. Everyone is so kind. We popped over the frontier into Italy through the Brenner Pass yesterday & back again so we have been to Holland, Belgium, Germany, Austria & Italy so far!!"
