WW2 Chapter 29 - Deployment to the Pacific, Part 3

In a third letter from mid October 1944, Franklin again underlines certain letters to get a message through the military censors:

October 1944 (undated) 

Dear Mother,

     It must seem quite nice to again have use of the living room! But then with all the care and cleaning to be done, shouldn't think it would hardly be worth it.

     Wonder if I didn't mention, some time ago, seeing "The Mask of Dimitrios"? And for the main character -- Peter Lorre. The movie, somehow, is very much like the book. Incidently, you perhaps remember sending me the book?

     What have Henry and Ophelia Hampson decided to name their young son? I have always liked them -- they're swell people.

     Has Dad ever told you about that learned discussion we one time had? At the time, you were writing a letter -- and somehow we got going on the rules and regulations of punctuation. We never could agree on the correct usage of the exclamation point.

     Suppose that by this time Nancy is well settled at college?

     You'll have to forgive the pencil ---

  Much love, Franklin

In this letter, he spells out “Admiralty” to indicate that they are now on the way to the Admiralty Islands. These islands are part of New Guinea and the Allies had taken them back from the Japanese in May 1944. The Allies were now using the islands as a major air and naval launching point for future campaigns against the enemy.
