Joe's Birthday

Dear Nell

I was just starting this letter when I was called away. They say they cannot find attestation papers & so I have to be sworn in again.  This is all the fault of Nathan the Jew. After we put off yesterday we anchored in mid-stream & stopped there until five past eight, at night.

I did not see Mother or Father on the wharf, so they came to the side of the ship in a launch during the afternoon.  At five past eight we put off.
