Dearest Mother
This is a little photo of our "wittle"
boat if I can find enough blue ribbon
I'll send you one like it for Xmas. Well we
are just about due in at Suva everyone is getting
ample excited at the thought of seeing land. Today
is really a beautiful day and the sea is lovely
and calm I have lost all fears of being sea sick
now. Im feeling real good. I'll try to get you a
souvenir from Suva but being Sunday the shops
may be closed. Bye now Mum
Dear take good care of yourself
and give my love to everyone.
Your loving daughter Marcia.
