West Virginia fresh out of her repair.

Darling Kay:
Task Force, intact, guns put in cruising position.  Scuttlebut is that we will catch up with about 600 Army Transports that left Manus, before we did and we will bombard the Phillipines, so they can make a landing.

Weather fine today, land swells, lots of sunshine, about 100 (degrees)

Listened to Tokyo Rose. They know we are coming. She says we are doomed.

Action Ahead!

Lots of love,
Dale.
