p.

pretty strict, & I must be careful what I
say.

I was very glad to be able to talk
to you again on Sunday afternoon - there
wasn't really much to say, was there - but
it was nice just to say goodbye again.
We eventually sailed during Monday, & we
were all very pleased to be off - it
was too exasperating to be tied up in
port & only an hour & a half in a car
away from you . Sure we had sailed
well, that was that, I felt relieved
but sad.
This is a very fine ship - & we have
been lucky in this direction - especially so as
the weather has been terrific. Most people
have been ill or nearly ill - & the tables
& chairs have been whizzing fom one
side of the state room to the other.
Even the stewards & people said it
was pretty bad. I don't know how
