Sept. 6, 1940
Dear Jean,
Well, I am in the navy now. I like it fine so far and this is to be the hardest part of the six years a man has.
Well, how is all with you? How do you like your job now?
I seen Douglas when we left Fargo for Chicago and I told him he had better write to you but I don't know if he did or not.
Andrew Nelson is here in the same company as I am and we have a lot of fun.
Have you had a letter from Don lately and if so what did he say about me and the Navy?
Did Jeanette get home yet? I wrote her a letter but she did not answer it.
I may be home in about 8 weeks on a 12 day leave, I hope.
I eat more now than I ever did, so I guess this kind of life must agree with me.
I am sunburnt for the first time in 5 years and boy am I burnt. We had a shot in the arm today and now I guess we have one left.
I had a letter from Tom Damm today. He did not know that I joined and he was telling me how he likes the Navy and he wanted me to come to Calif and get a job but I guess he is too late now for I am tied down for six years and maybe 20 if I like it.
Well I guess I will end for now.
Love
Malcom
