[[image - flag]] United Fruit Company Steamship Service ON BOARD Friday 2 May '19 Dear Doris: Having discovered what day it is, I can now repose in a deck chair & start a letter. We have had a very good trip with a fair breeze most of the time. We are somewhere off Florida now, & will pass thru between some of the Bahama Islands (Cat I. & San Salvador) tonight & tomorrow. Sunday morning or [[left side]] 2 noon we shall reach Santiago, but as no work is likely to be done on the cargo until Monday we shall not get away until Monday or Tuesday. It is 2 or 3 days more to Puerto Barrios. We are all well & I am feeling fine. No cases of seasickness among us, but I saw a meal served overboard from the top deck by somebody this morning. I wish you could be along to get the benefit of the sea & air. Saturday 11:30 AM We came in sight of San Salvador where Columbus landed,
