how we will get on. Neither Bonny nor I have felt the least bit sick yet. I don't know whether it is the medicine or our lovely state room or the fact that the boat is as steady as a house - a perfectly smooth sea. Yesterday afternoon we both took a nice nap - I had been sound asleep for two hours when Bonny came down and then we slept until dinner time. It is so nice in our state room that I would almost rather be there than any where - my berth is right under the port-hole and it is nice to lie there and read. here in the parlor it very nice too. We could just as well have our trunk in our state room now and I almost wish we had for then we could dress up [[strikethrough]] at [[\strikethrough]] a little - which would be nice, being at the captains table - I think they will bring it up for us - Bonny is going to ask them. There seems to be almost no one in the dining room at meal time - they do not set the long tables at all and there are almost no women, so it doesn't make much difference about dressing up. We have passed the "First Bismarck" now, she is just a speck in the distance - the captain says we will arrive long before she does. I wear my short skirt and Bonny says my little rig looks very nice. I am sure it looks better than the other womens - all the very stylish women you saw have disappeared. I hope you are not very lonely. Bonny said he thought you were sad when we left you, that you were very brave - not to cry - I suppose you did as soon as we were out of sight - remember what you have promised me to have as good a time as you can. By bye until tomorrow XS
