Dearest Rose.-

Just a line this time to let you know my new address.

They have sent me back to the same ship. I didn’t stay very long at the hospital. I left there today noon.

There are sending a lot of men off the ship. There is a big bunch leaving Saturday. but I do not go with them. They are going to some training camp and will be discharged from there. the ship is going to Brooklyn. Saturday_15. we will be there a month or two weeks and if I am not discharged by then, I will be going to France.

I don’t know just how long I will be on ship and wont know if I will like it or not. because my work is going to be altogether different. I hope they don’t keep me very long. because it is to cold and I would just as soon be home.

Well Rose as I just mailed you a letter from the hospital this morning, I will not write very much this time. But will write again in a few days.

will close with best love.

Your Friend, Dan-
