28 _____ Left Point Bowlow at 1100 & headed out past _____ anchorage. We were later told by Captain Miller that were on our way to Letey Golf. Were getting there May 31st at 10.00 AM. at 1600 flashproof covers were taken off & we could sleep with out our clothes on once again.

1100: Looks like "1200" was written first, then a "1" was written over the "2".

The anchorage was Kerama.

Letey Golf = Leyte Gulf in the Phillipines.

Flashproof covers were required on bunks during battle. This made smouldering fire and smoke in the living areas less likely.
