Summary edit
| Description |
English: "...place on the field of battle. Peace to their ashes, they responded to their country's call and fell a noble sacrifice. Do you ever mail any Salem papers to me? I have yet the first one to receive. If you have, I suppose they have been taken by others. The Northern papers give a high percentage for gold and silver, expect "shinplasters" are pretty much in the fashion around Salem.
It is almost an impossibility to get a treasury note changed here, unless you expend almost the half of it. Quite a number of our men were on liberty last week and came on board with their bills unbroken which is a thing that seldom occurs. How is the fruit this season? Did the peach crop answer expectations? It would not set me back a bit, for this ship to go home for repairs about the time grapes are ripe as I might avail myself of a few days liberty and make you a call, but I harbor no such idea. The health of this ship continues remarkably good. We hear the yellow fever is pretty bad at Key West and Havana. I am looking for a letter from Aunt Mary next mail as I wrote same time I mentioned writing to Salem. Have any of the family visited the City this summer? Do you ever hear from Bristol, and when did you hear from Uncle Bee's..." From the Charles H. Morrison Collection (COLL/5376) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
