Today, on the threshold of another year, our thoughts are many and varied.

The enclosed pictures were taken at my midnight Mass celebrated in the South Sea Islands on Christmas, 1943, by Chaplain William J. Menster of the United States Navy.

Now that I am a veteran of one week at this rugged over-pea life I have time for a few lines back home.

Nothing new!

Let me congratulate you on your fine article in America.

Monthly report of chaplain January 1943 submitted to the military ordinate for the unit stationed at Chaplains' School in Norfolk, Virginia.

Please excuse the delay, I can report that I am well and getting along fine at my new job.

Just a few lines to let you know that I am getting along well at Chaplains' school- now in my third week.

Your letter of 16 June arrived a few weeks ago and was most happy to hear from you, but was sorry to learn of the passing of Father Dupont and the many sick priests in the Archdiocese.

Your letter of November 7 finally caught up with me today and I am indeed most happy to get the latest news from the Archdiocese.
