Receives Letter
From Greece
Mrs. Daisy B. Denning received
the following letter a few days ago
from a family in Greece, whom she
had sent a package of food and
clothing. She asks us to "pass this
letter on to our readers in hopes
that their hearts may be touched”
by the plight of these unfortunate
people.
New Tharlovaxsi,
10 of May 1946.
Dear Mrs. D. Denning,
I received your letter and I thank
you very much for the interest which
you show, to write us and to send
us a package of clothes, when I’ll
take it I’ll write you. You can’t
think the joy I felt, I, and all my
family when we read your letter
and we saw the interest to help us
in every thing we have need. The
least help you will give us, we will
be very kind to you, because the
condition today in Greece is very
bad. The hunger, the distress, the
reason for no work and illness are
the most serious things which hit
the whole Greece. For that every
help you will give us, it will be very
useful.
You must know that you, the
Americans, for us the Greeks, are
the best friends and auxiliarys.
Every body suffers in a very bad
condition. The war which you know
something about it, hut we know
more than you. It left us in great
destruction and all the people suf
fer, but the workmen bear more
than the others, because we have no
work to do.
Till now the help which the
Americans sent to friends and rela
tives save many people from the
misfortune. Some send clothes and
some send money which is a very
expressive help for us. For that we
the Greeks, we never forget you,
which in these difficult times we
pass, you help us with the best
way.
The hunger here in the small de
partments where we live Is big. The
victuals which they give us to pass
a whole month are 9 ok of wheat
(one bushel In grain) and 80 gr. of
sugar (about 3 pounds) from these
we sell the sugar to buy the wheat
to pass our family a month, because
we have no money to buy it.
It is really that OYNRRA bring
many things, but they give those
to the big cities in Greece, especially
in Athens, but in a high price. About
clothes, they bring scarcely. Now
we heard that OYNRRA will give
new clothes in our island but the
prices are so high that we, the work
men, can’t buy them.
This is the real condition which
we pass today in Greece with few
words, because if I write you minute
ly all things I’ll use many pages for
to make an opinion how the Greeks
pass today.
I am a poor workman and today
I suffer because I have no work to
do. I was soldier about six years.
I fought in Albania and then I went
in Near East where I took place in
El-Alamein and in North Africa.
When the war was fiulshed I came
back destroy without work, and now
I suffer many things. You write me
that you have the kindness to help
me and to write what I need most.
The necessity are so difficult cured,
because how I write you. The war
destroyed everything I had. Foi
that any help you’ll send us, it will
be useful. Clothes and money are
for us indispensable to pass this
hard time which we pass today. My
family is a boy 9 years and a girl
7 years and my wife. We have need
of many things, but you send any
thing you like. Excuse me for all
these, and I thank you very much for
the interest you show to help us.
which we are unknown to you., but
I see that you have the kindness to
help us. For that I thank you very
much.
Regards from my family and -many
thanks to you for your kindness.
Very truly yours,
Demetrious lonnou Reumeliotla
New Carlovassi
Samos, Greece
Following is another letter writ
ten to Jerry Five, route one, New
berry, by a family in Greece whom
she sent package of clothing:
“Dear Friend:
“I am very glad because I receiv
ed your clothes with your address.
I hope to review this my letter and
write t 0 me about yours.
I am a mother and I have a little
boy about 5 old years. During the
German occupation we suffered very
much and above all the little boys.
If you would write to us a letter
and heard about and your family
next time if you reply to me I will
send to you a picture and send to
me yours me.
My boy like very much the Amer
ican boys and he is very glad when
write to you.
If you know a little Greek, I shall
write to you Greek letters.
Many loves to your family and
many kisses from my boy who loves
he loves you.
Thali Kiorelly.”
