    Oh, Henry. Sounds like he's had a rough few days.

    There are 10 days between letter 5 and letter 6. I wonder if one is missing?

    His name is Herman, but he signs his letters Hermie. :)

    Hermie is even more endearing than Henry!

    The officer got bread & water for 10 days? on a ship so I wonder is that the “hole”. But he was fined, $60.00, a lot of money back then. !!!

    The base commander probably decided they were both at fault and gave both a good spanking.

    Awww!
    That Herm is a swell kid!
    Can you imagine how thrilled Helene was when the mailman came?

    I love how he's less about "the fight cost me $60" than "wait until I tell Helene about it!"

    And why is he asking does my baby love me yet? He almost sounds like a confused teenager!!!!

    I am sure they are young...maybe her letters slowed down. Maybe he's worried about what might happen to him. I am sure he's lonely and longing for home.
