22 Sept. 1938

Dear doctor,

Having just returned to the ship from leave I received the very nice pen and also the pictures.  I really can't express my feelings to you doctor so will say thank you very, very much.  I shall always remember the very interesting trips I had the pleasure of making with you and hope we may do the same again soon.

I think the pictures turned out very nice and will see that Balicki and O'Neil get what pictures they are in.

After leaving Pensacola we were sent to Norfolk intending to stay east until the fleet maneuvers in Jan. I was going to drop in to pay you a visit but orders came in sending us back here to Long Beach
