Dear Mom,
There isn’t very much that I can think of to say, but I will try. I am sorry I haven’t written you more often. I suppose I could just as well have taken the time. Don’t worry about me because I will be seeing you. I am feeling fine and am quite interested in my work. I am getting altogether 92 dollars a month now so I believe I will probably make out an allotment to send home because I will not be able to spend very much of it anyway. Well I believe I will close now.
So with love,
Erwin Holmquist
P.S. I like the Navy because there is a chance for me to learn a lot. But let’s pray that God will bring this war to a quick end.
