7 August 1944, At Sea
Hello My Sweet,
How are you
today? Let's you and "Butch"
and "Stinky" and I all get together and go someplace together. Well now let's see, I can't join you but for
the next few minutes you can be with me.
As I wrote
you yesterday the peaceful Pacific misbehaved a little and continued
misbehaving all night long. We had lots
of sick men on board and "lots" went overboard too. As far as I'm concerned my appetite couldn't
be improved on unless it gets considerably rougher--then who can tell.
However this
morning "lady" Pacific was much quieter and by now all should be
feeling much better. I visited with our
navigator and watched him chart our course.
Did you write
to Dave about the Plymouth? Don't
stall! Get rid of it if he hasn't found
a buyer by now.
My office is
a mess. There are some pipe lines
running through it and some work was done on them. These ship fitters must have been plumbers
before they joined the Navy--what a mess.
However all is secure now and tomorrow I'll resume work.
Ate the usual
breakfast. For dinner we had barbecued
spareribs and sauerkraut with the usual salad, coffee, and dessert.
So my
darlings, we did have a few moments together.
Bye till tomorrow.
Your loving Daddy
Lt (j.g.) G. Steingart
