Robert Warren Wolfe World War II Letter from Ship

              Approximately 1100 somewhere 
on the bouncing Atlantic 
Dear Mom, Dad, and all, 
Yes, I know I am aboard a ship 
without looking out a porthole because 
I can feel myself going up and down and 
around.  I must admit it isn't any- 
thing like I expected but even so we 
haven't had what you would call really 
rough weather. 
Well, It won't be long now before 
I will see Doug.  I couldn't tell you 
before and it might be cut out now 
but here goes.  Doug left before I came home 
on furlough for overseas.  He will join us 
when we arrive.  I imagine he has been 
waiting for us rather impatiently.  I am 
certainly look forward to seeing him. 
It's rather hard to describe the feeling 
you have when the ship is bouncing. 
At times it feels as if you are 
walking on your knees and then the 
next moment you aren't walking 
on anything at all!  Saves shoe 
leather at times!
