"...likes to commit his thoughts to paper, which is something I never do if I can help it. Details and writing get me bogged down immediately. I hate to write...I get bogged down as soon as I have to assemble my ideas on paper. I can do so if necessary, but I have to go off alone, be completely undisturbed, and labor excessively."

This post will be of great comfort for some of my high school students who feel exactly the same thing as the admiral.
TGIF.
Kind regards from Sweden
Of course, if all old Admirals had the same attitude toward writing as Admiral Spruance we have been heading for places we were destined to be. I do not have to say where that destination is. Keep writing Sailors!
