Dearest old Mrs,My first letter must be to you because you are the first to me. We got away from the Orient Wharf punctually at 4 P.M. & what a send off as we had. I never saw or heard such a demonstration, the boats in the Quay fairly vied with each other in their efforts to make as many toot toots as possible, what a cheering & singing of popular & patriotic songs what a maze of multicoloured streamers. I felt real proud to be one of the recipients of this great send off. But I was glad there were none of my own loved ones there.
