The early letters show Ralph attending school at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland and received his first command during WWI. He writes his father about the academy, and life at the academy, and his activities there, when he goes out on ships for exercises. He also writes about his various ports of call, and the various ships he is assigned to, and what he is allowed to tell that the censors won't scrub:"USS Washington, Hampton Rds., January 2, 1912Dear Mother and Dad - Tomorrow at ten we clear the harbor for another sea trip of uncertain duration, they don't have mail boxes at sea, the'fore I write while I may. The Admiral expects to take the rest of the little flock with him and join the fleet 400 miles at sea, or thereabouts, and then we're all going to play horse for little while, with the Red Fleet and the Blue Fleet, - really a very interesting thing if you can get inside dope on what's going on, the only one I really even savvied was the one we were working on when we left Newport last, and bad weather bused that up. Later on in the month, about 21, the gallant Fifth (Seems I never get away from 5th, 5th Company, 5th Division, etc) is to go to Key West for the celebration. What celebration I know not, just a celebration that's all. I haven't seen an up to date paper since we left the Navy Yard four days ago, Old Point is a tiresome sort of a joint at this time of year, you can't get your finger on the pulse of affairs down here, it doesn't belong the main arterial system of the country. There's life in it still, but it's all fungus growth - rooky army lieutenants (coast artillery school) or "incubators" and their would be or is sweet hearts. Besides Hampton Rds is such a dreary windy place to anchor, it hasn't the slightest suggestion of coziness about it but instead the old ship is yawed about in the tide, the shore in the dim distance all around the horizon. If you ever sat in a big draughty desolate unfurnished room you can get an idea of Hampton Rds at this time of year. All the time you have the feeling of being somewhere and yet no where. Today has been a very enjoyable day for all; we started coaling at day break and finished about 4 p.m., with intermissions for breakfast and lunch, having increased our coal supply by 1600 tons. There's a certain exhilaration that the crew takes on when performing useful work that makes everybody happy. I imagine the novelty would soon wear off, if we had to do it every day tho. After leaving Key West the Fifth is expected to arrive sooner or later at Havana, to aid in disposing of the wreck of the Maine if she is then ready. Altogether we have a very pleasant outlook for the coming routes and if our plans are not changed we may have a chance to laugh up our sleeves at the boys who have to spend their time at Guantanamo. "Fat" Hicks has fully clinched his job in the Army, but he missed connection in getting his orders, probably much to Fats disgust. He wanted to be detailed to Fort Riley and run down to Kansas City occasionally to see the girls and perhaps "land" a good one among the latter who had plenty of cash in her jeans, but he got a jack-ass mountain paltry out in Fort Russell, Wyo....Hoping this will find you well, I am your affectionate son, Ralph Dennett""March 8, 1918 [New York, NY]My dear Dad, My attention has been temporarily turned away from the complication of affairs at home by the passing demand which have been made on my time and thought and shoe leather since I arrived in New York,, but I have during the lapses of evening after all the various naval Hqtrs have done up their business, had some chance to think things over, I'll come back to that later. The change in my own affairs have reached the advanced stage of completion where I am now, after two days of toilsome "reporting" back and forth between 280 Broadway and City Park, Bklyn, sometimes alone and most of the time with my predecessor, finally installed aboard the "New York" as the com'dg officer of her Armed Guard detachment. From the face of it, it looks like a most excellent billet. Tho I have been aboard the ship only once for a few minutes, she looks like a very fine lady to me and I'm glad I got the job. "Stitchy" Paine my pred. was loathe to give it up. Said he'd like to stay aboard for the period of the war. Can't find out why they relieved him. Probably too much rank. He was 1908. Tomorrow I shall take a small share of my household goods aboard for the trip and the rest I shall probably store here in New York somewhere. With all the truck you have to handle just now I shall not send it home, besides I might need some of the stuff when I get back.... My ship sails Tuesday, carrying passengers, mail and cargo. She is fast and therefore safe. I don't think you need give yourself any worry about me at all, Quarters are comfortable, and Paine tells me that the officers are congenial. I have a good titled second, a lieutenant, and 44 men. During the past two days I have worn out my feet and my change pocket hiking and subbing around between different offices of which there are three, besides the ship. All in different parts of the city... My voyage will last about three weeks if you have need of any of that money of mine in the York Bank and can get, paperback. New.
