September 25, 1943

Hi,
We haven’t had any specific censorship instructions yet so I won’t tell you anything except that we are approaching the end of a boat trip, which has been remarkably smooth most of the time. Starting about 24 hr ago the ship has done some of the fanciest rolling I have ever seen. At breakfast today, Janson fell out of his chair + slid halfway across the dining room while dishes flew off tables + shelves + most of the milk + coffee poured off on the floor + sloshed back + forth + a number of biscuits went rolling side to side. Afterward the waiter said he’d give us some more coffee “as soon as he could find the coffee pot”.
The trip has not been unpleasant, but a loaded troopship is something to see. Janson + I have been running a dispensary which is an agreeable break in the monotony.
I’m mailing this on the boat on the chance that you might get it sooner that way (but I doubt it).

Love B
