Dear Phil, Just a few lines to let you know I am well and hope this letter find you all the same. As a sailor says who has got the wrong news Bum dope. Here is the latest dope we are suppoes to go back the 28 of this month but that is just dope you cant depend on that. I tell you what when we get it straight from the captain, I will write you a letter by clipper, so you can tell the flocks for sure that I am coming. Here is one more thing that has me worried, you cant get leave unless you can get back to the ship within 12 hours. So if they call me do you think you might be able to get the old mans car and take me back to the ship in 12 hours time. Well today is Thanksgiving so to all of you home I whish you the best thanksgiving you ever had, that comes from the bottom of my heart, I am awful sorry that I cant be there with you, but it cant be done. But if all goes right I will be home before Xmas here is hoping. This time I am sending you a couple of snap shots so take your pick, When I get home I will see if I can't fix you up with a nurse, but not mine. Say phil what did the floks say cause I didnt send 20 dollars, this month, I really did need the money, so tell mom I am sorry but you cant do what your whant in here when they say you got to have certain items well you are going to have them thast all to it. When you wrote the last letter you did not put my full address on it so this put on, A Divlon, I will have to close give my love to all, believe me or not, but out here all the fellows call me Johnny so here I am sineing off whit love Johnny. P.S. forgive the hand write but I smell the turkey in the oven. |
