Dear Grace
Received the letter from the Alumni
of the X. #. I'll. School today and will
say that / have no words to express
my appreciation of the kind words my
schoolmates and friends wrote me.
Would that were close enough to
shake hands with each one. You may
be sure the rest of the boys in serv-
ice will appreciate theirs fully as
much as do mine
AS I read it / could not help but
see the banquet Of 1917 all over again.
Although / wish had been there, /
feel satisfied when / know all my
friends are thinking Of me as they are
ali of us fellows in service.
feel quite proud to know that /
am the only one Of the graduates to
represent the Navy. Still, am a very
small object when I know that twelve
graduates are in France where I wish
! was. But you know, one in such a
military organization has not his wish
es filed as he likes them always.
Ny work as carpenter 3 mate (avia-
tion) is very interesting to me. My
main object is to keep the seaplanes in
repair. That is all wooden parts in
perfect condition. Also, to build faci-
lities for testing the motors, balancing
and adjusting the compasses and so
forth. AT present, we are building our
carpenter shop. I thought you would
like to know that am to be advanced
from End to LIST class Carpenter s Mate
would like to write TO everyone Of
the Alumni Association and thank them
personally for each Good Wish ex-
tended by them but as such thing is
impossible / wish you would thank
them for me.
Thanking you again for the letter
and also for the addresses of the sol
der graduates for / intend to write
to every one of them. am,
Your friend, Herbert Swenson.
