| Description |
English: "...on board shot shell, grape & canister for the 9in guns. The grape-shot are 3 ½ or 4in in diameter and done up in cases 20 in a case to be fired at once. The canister are in tin-cans 9in in diameter and 12in long.
We expect to have rather an easy time after we get off having but little else but guard duty to attend to. Jim Lolfree is Paymaster & Mr. Baldwin (his Brother-in-law) is Capt. If we should remain here for two or three days I will write again. But I think that we will get off by tomorrow certain. I must compliment Eliza and Charlie for their successful effort at writing. I think you done well. I was glad to learn of the welfare of the cat and the chickens. Write again both of you (and Mary too) and I will answer your letters. We will probably take an 8 mos cruise and as we take only 1600 tons of coal we will have to..." From the John K. Murdock Collection (COLL/799) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
