Handwritten draft addressed to Friends Intelligencer, sent from Sorrento, Italy. Janet wrote that radio programs in English were no longer available in Germany and Italy. There was hope in Italy that when Germany's war in Poland was finished, there would be no further war. [Germany invaded Poland on Sept. 1, 1939.] There was fear of the U.S. and Russia supporting the war with weaponry. Note in her mother's hand at end, hoping for a miracle to avert war.
