Breezy Letter from
WellknOWn Salem Man

January Is, 1918.
Dear Mr.. Sargent: l received your
letter in due time, also the circular
letters sent out to banks in regard to
membership in federal reserve sys-
tenn, and correspondence with the de-
Epartment, etc. NV address for some
time to come will be in care of Re
Ieeiving Ship, San Francisco, Cal, and
l shall surely appdeciate your kind
ness if you will remember me from
time to time in sending out reports
and abstracts, etc.
L have been bhsier' n the dickens
the last thrhe weeks-running on
eight cylinders the whole time. i like
the work very much because it is so
interesting, and 1 am doing my best
to make good, for | hope they will
ceive proper instruction.
Last week two young doctors from
this station were sent to the far east.
An order to move comes like a thun-
der bolt from clear sky, very unex-
1pectedly.
The fellows with whom I work here
in the office are fine men. / thought,
as | am a reserve officer, that the
regulars would sore of "rub it in, :
but it is just the opposite, they do all
they can to show me the work. The
pay master is good fellow, he has
done a lot for me in seeing that l re-
ceive proper instruction.
The day L reported, [ was assigned
to the U. S. Ship Rainbow, then serv-
ing as receiving ship, and as all the
rooms ON the ship were occupied, the
executive officer of the ship inform
ed me that | would have to sleep in
the ward room--With the sailors; i
told him that was the least of my trou
bles, or words to that effect. About
twenty minutes later he came to me
and told me that | could occupy his
Iquarers, that he slept ashore--pretty
soft, for he furnished me with sheets,
blankets, etc, which I otherwise would
have had to buy. The meals on the
Rainbow were the best l have eaten
in long time-with the exception of
ia roast duck dinner which Carl and
I ate at Clay s. The meals on the Rain,
bow cost us about sly per month Talk
about the service--three Filipinos did
the honors, and darky cook-the st
Francis WASH 7 in it. The Rainbow
was ordered away in December, since
then I have been living ashore.
! Ten days ago one of the poys-a reg
ular pay clerk-was ordered to San
Pedro, and | was assigned to his desk.
