she will exist, but have hoped to get her housed somehow. Things are so crowded here. We leave Monday for Amsterdam, a long trip and a night sitting up on the train that I'm not looking forward to. But it would cost $30 to lie down, so we don't! Sleepers here are most expensive. Sid wants to get to England as soon as possible. I am sorry to leave the continent as they say England is so hard up, food terrible and living conditions not pleasant. Now I must dress and get packed up to move & have breakfast and get to the museum just as quick as I can. It is only a bit after 6 now. Hope to have a letter from you today Doris. Copenhagen Denmark 28 July 1950 Dear Ma: Today we are going to get mail at the Embassy here and maybe there will be a letter from you – I hope so. Doris & I travelled all day Wednesday and sailed across the Baltic from Malmö the last port at the tip of Sweden, to Denmark at sunset time. It is 1 1/2 hours on the ferry. The ferry was crammed with people and we only got a seat by the skin of our teeth in the 3rd class salon upstairs where we ate our supper of sandwiches & had a glass of milk. We found our money – in Danish – wasn't any good for paying for the milk - only Swedish, which we had gotten rid of...but some Danish passengers came to our rescue & took our money – paid in Swedish for us. We had a beautiful sunset on the water, and then the moon rose, -- all daylight still. We got to Copenhagen after 9, and Sid, who had reached there by plane in 1 1/2 hours instead of 12, was there to meet us & take us to the hotel. He hadn't found a place for Doris there, but at a pension about a mile away.
