Bremerton, Washington

Dear folks, Mama, Nan, Rob.

How are y’all? OK here. Just got thru talking a shipmate into taking my place on our weekend for $2.25. So, you can expect me home for supper Saturday. If I don’t get there I just didn’t get away from here. Still on mess duty and will be glad to get off at the end of the month. We are pretty sure to leave here near the first of the month. Went over to the receiving station and saw a swell show called the fighting 69. Swell weather up here hasn’t rained in almost a week. Hear you have good weather there too. Got another letter from the Thatchers this time from Mr. Jeri it down. For Mr. Jeri was down this afternoon for a little while, which back to Hosp. They keep you pretty busy around here. Is the motorcycle still in the Chalmers estate? I hope not. Got about $30 worth of clothes the other day. Well, hoping to see you Saturday.

will sign off now,

love Don
