Dec. 15, 1942  
Hello Frank,
I am on board the USS Speed, one of the latest minesweepers and have charge of 
all Electrical Machinery; which covers main Propulsion, ship service, 
ventilation, refrigeration, rauges, gunnery, telephones, gyro compasses etc. So 
it keeps me hopping…Tell me did DeLoache & Laughinghouse get their appointments 
in the Naval Resen yet or are they still waiting? Well Frank, I have to check 
the Engine Rooms so will say so long & Seasons Greetings.  Tom
