Dear Mrs. Macomber:
Funny things happen at sea but
tonight the funniest thing of all
happened to me. I made myself a
peanut butter and honey sandwich
and I immediately thought of you
and the school cafeteria. I sa-. I
right then that I would write to
you this evening. Perhaps you have
forgotten me and peihaps you
haven't. I was one of the Boardman
school boys that you fed at noon
in the caieteria and I just wanted
you to know that we haven't lor
gotten you even though we are far
away.
Liie at sea is rather boresome do
ing the same tiling day in and day
out but if serving at sea is helping
to win this war then my time is
not wasted. I am serving as a navy
signalman aboard a merchant navy
jfihip of the United States. Our job
of course is to see that the goods
get through to our Allies and our
soldiers. When 1 joined this outfit I
wanted to see plenty of action and
Lady, I certainly am getting it.
Submarines seem to like to pi.k
on us merchant men but so far I
have come through without . a
scratch. I am lioping to be home
this coming September or October
and if I am I shall look you up.
Can you still make peanut butter
and honey sandwiches? If you can
and rationing permits I want you
to make me about a half a dozen.
