My dear Mother and Father
I wrote to Mother last night but could not get much in on that paper so will write to you both now. I can only tell you all the minor details but suppose you will be interrested in them.
Here is a list of some of the things we are not to put in letters.
Date and place of dispatch
Names and numbers of transports & escorts
Numbers & descriptions of troops
Disposition of force
Route & ports of call
Criticism judged harmfull
References to larger units & superior commanders.
My word I am thankful that I am such a good sailor
