"Of
course as you mentioned it is no disgrace for you to be transfered to a Naval
Training Station and we never thought of it as being such. I was rather disappointed more because of the
uncertainty of your future destiny than because of any reality. But you must not think of it as disgraceful
because what a person can't help is surely no disgrace. So just go ahead and be the best sailor you
can as you always do everything else....
"Seals
have heard from Jack again. He is still at Anzio Beach in Italy and has just
started to receive packages they mailed in January. He was feeling fine.
“Aunt
Frances is pretty sure Joyce is on his way across and that Dale is preparing to
cross as he had his will made out and sent back. That is something you should
see to if you have to go across."
