This undated note was written shipboard on the way to North Africa, very likely in mid-August 1943.Dearest Marie,
You will find a copy of the ship’s menu on the rear. This is the way we have eaten all the way. Sure is swell. And the best part of it is that through some quirk of regulations officers do not pay a cent for their meals. Better yet if I can get another menu I will send it along. Notice there are only two sittings a day. Couldn’t stand any more I am sure.
Love,John
On the reverse of the second menu was the following note:
Had both duckling and steak at this meal. John

Pat, these letters are just wonderful. Such an insight into Dad's thoughts; I never realized what a great writer he was. I think I can feel and see as he felt and thought, through his writings.
Thanks very much.
Larry
