when one knew how those devils in the submarine would be chuckling over their achievement. I don't think many lives were lost though, which was a great piece of luck, as I was told afterwards that she was carrying coolies & of all people to handle on a sinking ship I should think they would be the toughest! Well Pa I must wind up,

Much love to you & Mother

Your loving son
