Default Luzon memo from Halsey

My dad was a career navy man, 1939-1959. He served in WW2 AND Korea. During WW2 he had 3 ships shot out from under him and once spent 2 weeks floating in the pacific. Joined as an enlisted man and was promoted to officer during the war. He retired when they offered him command of the USS Constitution in Boston but he told them he wanted a "real" ship. This memo was his(memento), it's kinda droll but very cool. It might be hard to read cause the printing isn't very good so I'm "translating" here.
"Although the capacity audience hissed the magnificent luzon performance the gate receipts were gratifying and very little was thrown at the actors. the show goes on the road again soon and keeps going as long as the audience has a spot to hiss in.------------Halsey"
