Dear Mother,
The news has finally come thru and I hardly know how to feel. Of course I cannot tell you much except that I'll be seeing Auntie Ponce. Won't she be thrilled? Do write her for me as I can't just now.
Here is the best news. I'll be home on Wednesday and have three or four days at home. How I wish it were longer. I hope Grandpa and Uncle Russ will not be too disappointed that I shan't be closer home.
Tomorrow after Captain's inspection I shall catch the train for Boston. I am so glad I can be with Peep again, but I hate to think of saying good-bye on Sunday.
Just think I'll be home on Wednesday.
Love,
Caroline

You had probably better not tell anyone anything except that I'll be home. Do tell Grandpa and Uncle Russ, tho.
NOTE
Caroline's maternal aunt, Florence Satterlund ("Auntie Ponce"), was living and working in Seattle at the time. Thus, Caroline was able to "secretly" communicate the news about where she was to be stationed.
