Dear Snapper
How are you. I hope you have been a good boy. I sure miss you. It wont be to long till you start school again. I am leaving here about 1:30 Monday morning. I think I will ride a ferry boat to Frisco and then get on the USNS Meigs. It's a big ship, about the biggest one there is for carrying soldiers. I sent you a picture of it. I am going to take some pictures on the way over so I will send some home.
All of us who went to school together will be together on the ship. It will take me about 10 days to get there. I will be sent to an outfit after I get there. I don't know where yet. It wont be bad over there now the war has stopped, so don't worry about me.
I am sending you a patch a guy gave me who stays in our barracks. I forgot the Div. You can have Mama sew it on your jacket for you. I will send you a new patch of the Div I get in.
Well be a good boy and go to Sunday school with Mama. I'll write you again on the ship. Please mind mama and remember your daddy.
Love, Daddy
