Title: to Parents
The heat is causing him to break out, but otherwise he is very healthy. He thought they would remain where they are but they received orders to be ready to embark at any moment. They got on a boat back to New Orleans, but it was stalled for four hours. There was a false report saying they'd been shipwrecked.
