David R. Elder correspondence, February-March 1945

U.S NAVAL RADIO STATION
NAVY 220 (TWO TWO ZERO)
FLEET POST OFFICE, NEW YORK, N. Y.
Lester Glick, Cy, USN
23 March 1945
Dear Dave: 
This is a quiet morning for me, giving me the chance to write a few letters, among them this one thanking you and all hands for the Scuttlebutt which keeps arriving regularly. 
We're having some wonderful spring weather here in Ireland. It's really a pleasure to be outside, and Vera and I take advantage of the weather to take some nice walks out into the country. Wish we had as beautiful a countryside around Washington. 
The war news is good. It doesn't pay to be too optomistic , but here's hoping it won't be too long before the boys begin coming home. I'd certainly like to come home for a visit, but this seems to be my billet for duration plus. In a way I hope I do stay here. Although it would be wonderful to come home for a while, I've got good duty here, Vera is with me, and if I did come back to the U.S., it would only be for a month's leave, then out to the Pacific. (I'm not foolish enough to be dissatisfied here!)

Saving...
