Dear Wally :-

I received your kind and welcome letter and was glad to hear that you are alright.  Yes I know that Mis Brown is marrying Mr Donato as Billy wrote and told me all about.  I had a feeling that one day they would be parading to the alter.  I am very glad as they are both two swell people.

I see by your last letter there are quite a few lads joining the navy.  I guess all the gang will soon be in the navy.  I met Dick S. a few weeks ago he seem to be having a wail of a good time.  He looks pretty good too although I dont think he has gained any weight.

Nothing much is happening around her.  Everything is very quiet.  But through all this I am enjoying myself pretty good.  I am getting my watch fixed tonight.  I broke the glass about three months ago and I have decided it is about time I got it fixed.

I have still got quite a bit of mail to answer.  I received quite a lot this last trip in.  Vivian and Billy are the next on my list so I should be quite busy tonight.

I saw Bobby Smith today.  I see him quite a lot.  He says he expects to get leave about December.  I hope to get mine before that, thats if my luck holds out.

As for me I am still OK. and seem to be getting along nicely in this navy.  Well Wally I guess this all for this time so be good and write soon.

Lots of Love
Jack
