Dear Folks,

Hello mom, how are you? it’s 10 o’clock Tuesday night and I am in what they label isolation ward which exists of my state rooms on the ship. They haven’t started working on it yet (the ship was still under construction in preparation for use during the war). It has a couple of bunks and a bathroom a big bathtub too. By myself and I can’t leave the room. I am told that you called up. Please read enclosed pages. In isolation until at least Sunday. Most likely to be home Sunday. Reading a lot. Not sick. Have a radio. hello Bob hello Nan. Well, going to bed good night, Don.
