48

off now. I just happened to
think about a half hour ago
that I had a birthday on the 20th.
I wouldn’t have the thought of it only
I read a letter of Rose’s asking
me what I wanted for my
birthday. I am going to buy
a wrist watch as soon as I land
and I will send my watch
home. I will write again as
soon as I can. We are in sight
of land now.

Love to everybody
