This is a letter my oldest brother Jim wrote to mom and dad from the ship Durban Castle - the last ship to got through the Suez Canal before it closed to all shipping for about a year. Mom and Dad, Dick and I went back to Pioneer Livingston Mission in Tanganyika to return to the states in 1957. I missed my brothers so much. I was 8 when they left home, so through the years I called them the "Beloved Strangers".
