Dear Mom & Dad –

This is just a hurry up note to let you know I’m still OK. The lights are going off in a couple of minutes & I must get this off tonight. You see I’m packed, crated, & ready to shove off in the A.M. No – not for home – you know where.

I might get another chance to write before I shove off, but if I don’t & you don’t hear from me for about two weeks or longer don’t worry.

I ought to have lots of interesting things to tell about in my next letter.

I’ll say so long now. Don’t worry about my health or welfare just hope I don’t get too sea-sick.

Love, Dorance
