Dear folks at home
Thinking that you are perhaps anxious to hear from me, I will gt busy and do my duty. We left Norfolk the 1st of the month and are now in process of crossing the little pond. Although many of the recruits are sick I have not as yet expericended this delightful sensation. Before leaving port religious services were numerous.In the afternoon services were held on deck by the pastor of the Norfolk Presbyterian church. An invitation to his church in the evening was cordially extended.About 75 accepted. Myself, with about ten others went to the
Baptist church instead. The music was grand far better than that which is usually rendered at home.7 Nov 1910
Am still well and hearty as ever which means considerably to those knowing my usual heartiness.It rained hard last night and the sea is a little rough. Expect to reach France a week from Wednesday.I can neither send nor receive mail until we reach port.This is rather tough,as I would like very much to have something to read.8 Nov 1910

Well we are here at last, and it seems good to see something stand still a minute. I wish I were in Cuba not NY where it is warmer.Received my mail and be
assured I was most awful glad to get it.It seems ages since I last heard from you.It seems good to be able to sit at a mess table and eat without having to
chase your plate all around the ship between mouthfuls. We were obliged to sit on the floor most of the time.A French boy came aboard last night and sold
New York Herald printed in half English and half French. I read the English. It contained pictures of the fleet as we left Sandy Hook and as we came into port.Im on watch this week and have not as yet gone ashore but expect to go Saturday. This is a great port here the biggest in the world.21 Nov 1910
