Sunday

Dear Jean,
     Here it is Sunday morning and nothing to do unless I go to the wash room and scrub clothes or go to church or write letters of course. I'd like very much to go to church but I guess I had better write a few letters if you see what I mean.

Sunday Aug 4. 

Dear Jean 
     The last letter I wrote was a pretty hurried one as I was in a hurry to go ashore. You know after being out at sea for a while a fellow gets anxious to get on the beach. 
     Did you have a good vacation? I suppose it was hell to back to the grind again.
