"I received a letter from mom the other day and she asked me what was wrong with me that she had not received a letter for almost a month. So I made up my mind that I would write tonite no matter what happened...I had boat officer last nite. You see sometimes the ship puts a chief in the boats to ride back and forth so that the drunks don't get into trouble on the way back to the ship. I only had one fight in the boat last nite so I guess I can consider myself lucky. Sometimes the sailors fight all the time. I always tell them that I am not a fighter but a lover...By the way, how are the trees and other plants in the yard? Do they need rain or watering. I don't mean any harm, I am just concerned about my yard. I want it to look nice...I got my certificate for Permanent Appointment to Chief today. The Captain himself presented it to me...Well Darling, I love you very much and I will try my very best to make life worth living for you and the children."
