Dear Jean:
     I guess it's about time I was drafting you a few lines. We have been here for a few days & I've been ashore two times. Yesterday when I was walking through a park I ran into Tom He is on the "Saratoga, " an air craft carrier. We walked around the rest of the day & ate a couple of pineaples & coconuts. They only cost 10¢. You can get coconuts for nothing if you want to climb a tree after them. I tried to get Tom to go after some but they are pretty high & it is so damn hot.
