The Voyage of the Great White Fleet

Dear Mom,

I finally got that rest I've been needing, when we arrived in Albany, Australia September 11th. We still had work to do there and were having to carry a bunch of coal back to the ship to refuel it but in between work we had a lot of free time. I mostly rested and got in the water because it’s been really hot lately. There were a bunch of parties at the Town Hall but a lot of us were too worn out to stay long. The people there were really nice and were very welcoming. The town was a small one but the people did everything they could to make it seem fun and to show off the town. Sadly we didn’t stay long because I could've gotten used to that.
