Dart spends the first half of this letter telling why he probably won’t write much this week. (Monday night is a trip to ‘Frisco to check train schedules, Tuesday is duty night, Wednesday brings a big Navy dance, Thursday is model railroad club, Friday is duty night again and the weekend is liberty time.)

For the second half of the letter, he returns to a topic which may pepper all future letters from Treasure Island – his graduation leave. He discusses train schedules, possible screw-ups and delays, the potential of not getting any leave at all, and his parents’ wish that he come home even if it’s for 10 hours. Naturally, his biggest hope is that Dot will be waiting for him in Cleveland if he gets there.

That’s all for today, and there’s nothing tomorrow.
