"Nice to hear from you; letters much appreciated over here. It’s 8:15pm, just finished work; nice to sit down & write w/bottle of fairly good wine; we all work long hrs, but if you could see our result you’d understand why everyone is so eager to do a good job. Ray is stationed in NJ; I’m glad he gets to see Mom every once in a while, for she gets quite lonesome. Tell me more about this Navy man of yours. Tell your Dad to be sure those engines are made right, for it’s difference betw live or dead over here. [Writes lyric of an English marching song: “Bless ‘em All”.] Love, Charles Jr."
