"Dear Folks:
"Lieut. Morrisey had some interesting news for us at yesterday's muster. I'm to be sent to Asbury Park, New Jersey, as soon as the semester is finished here. This summer resort town of 14,500 population is on the Atlantic Coast and about 70 miles south of New York City. Here we'll have probably a pre-midshipman's school or, as some rumors have it, an amphibian school."
