There are several hundred midshipmen
unsatisfactory for the term in different
subjects and with a rough guess I
should say that at least 200 will
bilge – "unsat" in two or more subjects.
We all feel as tho we had just
finished a week of stoking.

Well that isn't very interesting
for you but there isn't much more
to say. I met Mrs Underwood – formerly
Miss Ramsey – and she always has a
lot to say about you, what kind
of a boy Ed is and what he used
to do but I'll tell you no more.
I was mighty glad to hear from
Helen Funke the other day. Mrs.
Underwood knows her very well, in
fact that is how I happened to meet
Mrs. Underwood.

I seem to have struck a lot of your
friends for Geo. Martin, a first-classman,
sits next to me in the mess-hall
and he knows Helen and yourself.
