UNITED STATES NAVY
Wednesday 9 August
1944, At Sea
Dearest,
Another quiet
day. The weather is balmy and the sea is
smooth. I'm thankful for the clouds in
the sky else it would be plenty warm.
Not much
activity for me. I worked for a couple
of hours this morning. After a light
breakfast and after making a routine inspection of the hospital portion of the
ship, I found I had the rest of the day to myself. So I walked down passageway, up a ladder and
down to another passageway several times
around the ship just for the exercise. I
visited with the watch officers on the bridge for awhile and then retired to my
bunk and read a magazine short story.
Are you
keeping busy? Do my girls ask about
their Daddy? Tell them I miss you all so much and that we'll spend all the time
I have together when I get back.
So
sweetheart, I'll sign off till tomorrow.
As ever
Your loving husband,
Gil
Lt (j.g.) G. Steingart
