My beautiful Sara,

So here I am – somewhere off the coast of Nova Scotia. We've been at sea for two days now. Another week to go before we dock in Hamburg. My 'state room' could be politely called 'intimate' (it's 10'x6' – the size of a jail cell). It's also less than private, as I share it with five other guys, two of whom are congenital snorers. Leave it to the Army to figure out a way of fitting six soldiers into a broom closet. No wonder we won the War.

When we hoisted anchor in Brooklyn two days ago, I had to stop myself from jumping overboard, swimming to shore, hopping the subway back to Manhattan, and knocking on your Bedford Street door. But that would have cost me a year in the brig – whereas this current penal sentence is only nine more months. And you better be waiting for me at the Brooklyn Naval Yards when we dock in September. . . otherwise I might do something rash and self-destructive, like becoming a Christian Brother.
