Dearest Mother and Daddy,"" Will dash off a note, and even though there isn't much to say (as I've said before), it's just to let you know that all is well.
I'm getting quite a nice sun-tan, and of course as usual my freckles are beginning to appear. Everyone thinks they are cute.
Recently we had an initiation when we crossed the Equator. Of course, having been across before, I didn't have to go through it all again, but I was part of the ""Royal Court." We really had fun.
The food is still wonderful, and I'm about to eat myself to death. You know me.
I've just come from church. We have it on the open deck every Sunday morning.
I hope all is well at home with you all. I've almost worn out those two letters I've got on board ship- reading and rereading them. It's the last bit of news I'll have from home for a while, I expect.
I'm writing this on deck and it's so nice looking out over the water, and the breeze feels so good.
I bought a Valentine the other day at the P.X. to send to Louis, but I don't know exactly when he will get it.
Well, I guess this will be all for now. Take care of yourselves.
