25 March 1957
"Well guess what, the Chiefs on this ship, which there are about 50 in number are throwing a big party at some Lodge here in Sasebo. That means that I will have to contribute about $5.00 towards it. Even if I don't drink like the rest do. It's just one of those things. I told them that I would drink Coca Cola and be a Shore Patrol that evening...Poor old Timmy, I guess he misses seeing his old Daddy doesn't he?...Have you been taking him outside and letting him run around. You see he has to get tired then he will sleep better at nite...Take it easy and don't worry about Timmy so much."
