Dear Sister: -

I don't know whom
I owe a letter to, but as long as
I get a letter written it is alright.
I am in no hurry writing as a letter
will not go until so long after
landing anyway. We landed here
last night about 3.00 A. M.

I will be able to describe
certain phases of my trip, but I will
not be able to describe the efficient
manner in which troops are handled
by the military and Naval departments.
They have so many things to contend
with, and, of course, troops are not
like passengers, and do not expect
it. The absolute secrecy necessary
involves many things you would
never think about. So I shall
describe as much of my trip as I dare.
