Text of the letter:
"Havana, Cuba
Dear Mother:
I take great pleasure in writing ------ (these? this from Cuba????) I don't know how it will be when it gets up there I guess it will be frozen but it will be a nice letter if it keeps you can press it till it dries out.
There is not much news here everything is keeping quiet here.
We take a bath everyday in the fountain which is in the center of the park.
I am going down to go through the marine barracks I may get
some relicks from there well I will come to a close did you get the
pictures I sent up? Well this is all for the present"
