Dear Mother,

You should have noted if I didn’t mention it that I have some new envelopes. I was able to buy a little and today wrote Ira D a letter and asked him to tell the others he had heard from me.

It seems so much harder to write from here than at the last station. The reason being restrictions I suppose and fear that a little slip will be made.

I washed my usual two day washing this A.M. or rather put them to soak – will finish tomorrow A.M. That seems a long process for a pair of shorts socks towel etc. but why hurry. I’ve let my watch run down and

[page 2] have a calendar up to go by so I guess I won’t miss anything.

Last night it really rained and I expected to see the ocean raise a foot or two this A.M. Really I looked for holes in the sky where the water poured thru but everything was natural this A.M. so it was just another hard rain.

One of the boys just brought in a bunch of bananas but they are a little too green at present for eating purposes. We have had several limes and a few pineapple right fresh off the press so we get a few fresh vitamins.

Well I’m tired of balancing this pad on my knee – so solong
Love Daddy
