Says he received her letter with his mother's letter about a week ago. Says he waited to write until he finished the clothes and had them shipped by the Express Office. They were made as close to the measurements sent to him as possible. Says she will have to turn up the pant legs as he lost that measurement. Tells her about other possible alterations. Wants her to get Willie's (who he made the clothes for) picture taken and sent to him. Sends greetings to friends and family. Writes after his signature: "Everything is lovely when the mood is slightly elevated." Written while aboard the USS "Delaware".
