Dear family,
The past weeks have been quite rough. The corn stalks grow weakly, and the beans have hardly sprouted. We've slaughtered two pigs already, and haven't the funds to purchase more. On a better note, my son is now old enough to till the soil, so he can help on the farm. My wife and daughter have cleaned our wooden house these past days, and my daughter has made herself and brother a quilt. Do write soon.
Sincerely,

For him, having seen the destruction of Europe after world war II, he was aware that it might be difficult to explain the needs of millions of Europeans to Americans save at home in a country that didn´t suffer (civilians) like other countries did.
3. As my (grand)parents in the Netherlands once told me, the most difficult years of the world war came when it ended. There was nothing to eat.
The Netherlands, like most devastated European countries, urgently needed economically help in order to build up what was utterly destroyed.
Tip: look for the movie Europe by Lars von Trier.
