Dearest William:
Your letter received and contents noted. Through Spiritual Channels you have been with me ever since the momentous day we parted, and all I can say is, "May God in His infinite mercy watch over and take care of you, until you have been delivered safely into my arms."
Ever Thine,
Mable.
P.S.—Bill:
Am going round with a new swell John and he writ this fer me. Itll make the fellos think Im a swell dame when you show it to them. Tear off this p. s. part. What's the matter, are you broke? You dont put no more stamps on your letters. Rite again.
Yours as long as you stay away,
Mable.

BILTMORE OSWALD
The Diary of a Hapless Recruit
By J. THORNE SMITH, Jr., C.B.M., U.S.N.R.F.
This book does for the Navy fledgling what DERE MABLE does for the rookie of the Army. It is the veracious record of the haps and mishaps of a verdant land-lubber plunged into a whirl of unfamiliar duties at Pelham Bay, as told by a recruit who has been through the mill. His experience are one long riot of laughter—no one with a son or a brother or a sweetheart in the Service will want to miss it and no one who is a recruit himself can afford to miss it.

'Sure,' I replied, 'it will all be foreign to me.'"
