The seining & outing has done me a lot of good & Richard is his self once & again & played a fair game of bridge last eveng & smoked cigarettes & drank – Lemon squash & soda – By the way Lemon squash is in bottles 1/8 each (about). We pour a lot & fill up with soda & its good, cheap & quite the sound drink – never exceed in alcohol – if you feel anyway heady – the signal is – Stand by –
The censoring of letters is going on – I've written a nice little account of "An outbreak of Ptomaine poisoning on a man of war" but its publication will be delayed because I read it over to Fgd & he said – Better wait – 'There is a little criticism in it & the naval board might have a pang' – Its all right but it must wait –
We go out at 6 pm & all is in readiness – I'll wind up with a Bluejacket's wit when the storm opened up yesterday – "Quartermaster – send a couple of hands aloft & have that noise stopped"
