However, it's in my logloook and perhaps you may hear something of our last trip in the papers before I get l home, but I'm no worse for the. wear and they tell me I'm getting fat. We'll, ito go along with this fatness, summer . weather and arriving in port. comes the mail. which we always look. for ward to when we get in, and was re- arded this time ith four letters and a box one letter from my elders dated Jan. 19, one from New Jersey and one from J.. s. and B..
