am. You would feel better il I told
you. Well, l can't, but / am feel
ing fine as can be expected while ON

whether the work We do is worth
while or not. l wish l could come
home for the holidays, but am
afraid it is out of the question. It
is quite warm here and I have a
fair tan. 1 used to think that the
hours we put in on the farm were
bad enough, but they don't COM
pare with what we put in, in the
navy. l don't suppose there are
many of my old schoolmates left
around home any more. We are
unable to get money orders ON
board the ship now, so l am going
to wait until get quite bit On the
books and then draw a government
check.
Things are beginning to look
much better for the Allies as time
goes on. There is no doubt in my
mind but that we will win. You
need not look for much from me.

cumstances it is out
