Dearest Mother, Dad, Shirl & R.
This is another Tuesday and it is really nice outside. It was quite foggy over the week-end but it is clear now.
I received your letter with the check-book in it and thanks very much. I will also send that other $100 as soon as I get it & you can deposit it too.
Well, over the week-end I didn’t do very much –I had the duty so I just stood watch.
Today Gordie T. is shoving off for home. He is flying and will get there tomorrow morning. He is going to buzz out and see you so you can expect him anytime. He is a purty nice fellow.
I am going to try to get up to L.A. again this coming week-end I would like to get up there a couple more times before I shove off.
I really had a good time last night--& I didn’t spend a cent for it. Gordie met me at 1730 on Fifth St. pier after my watch and we walked up town and saw a “Flika.” On the way back we hard a lot of sour music & stopped to see what it was—we saw a bunch of holy rollers really having a big time. They were trying to save everyone & were really having a big time. We watched it for about 20 minutes & then caught the liberty boat for A.T.B.
Thanks for sending my green jacket—it will come in handy.
I hope you are all O.K. & that you are having good weather now.
Love
Bill
