whole lot constitute only a small

chapter in a sad sad story.  To 

think of all the fine young men

who have been cut off or who

have been maimed unnecessarily

makes on feel like having some

sort of revenge on those responsible

for these crimes.

    Your paragraph about the 

possibility of peace before Xmas is

quite prophetic, as it is now all

but an accomplished fact Germany

appears to be in such a bad

condition that she isn't likely

to take up arms against us 

again, & we should have things

pretty much our own way.

    Yes Willie, this is one of the

much sought after shore-stations, but 

it has come along a bit late in the 

day.  I think my chances of being

discharged quickly would be greatly

enhanced if I were on any ship in

home waters.  But thing are quite

cushy here, &, the cable being repaired

again, we have practically nothing to 

so while on watch.

     Well, Willie, Best of Luck if you do go

across & don't forget to write me again soon

well
