Fondly yours… Episode 10: Goodbye Costa Rica and England Prepares

San Jose marketplace, Costa Rica. Painting by Marguerite Frost

Marguerite writes on her 16th birthday, April 26 1940, that her parents plan to send her back to the United States for her education.  Maude describes rationing in England, convoys of merchant ships like the one Jackie sails on, an encounter with Will Hall, and the miracle of Dunkirk.  France is about to fall.
