look at a man – a patient with a small intractable ulcer -
I saw him over the side & wished him no end of luck in chasing up the Scharnhorst & Gneisenau & wished moreover I could see the scrap from start to finish - I'd love to see that forward turret unmasked & her 12 inch gun talking thro her long mouth piece -
I wrote a note to the wife at Glen Innes but she musnt yet hear about our ships & their position & the loss of AE1 – at least not from the front – a good colorless letter with lots of health in it is the correct one in war time - Naval officer's letters are not censored hence one must be doubly careful -
I'll note one thing more – to - day & that is that our concert here is to break up - Evy - ship has an appointed job of work - Starts tomorrow - Frederick Wilhelms Haven on the coast of New Guinea is to be collared - the German war ships to be followed
