Darlings,
Sunday today-just laying on my bed and writing. Not very exciting but, I do like to receive your letters. Some of the boys don’t write at all. It’s a wonder their families don’t get frantic about them. I’m pretty proud of my letter writing so far. I never thought I would keep up my correspondence so well. All it takes is a little willpower. Lots of times I have been dead tired but still I wrote anyway.
Yesterday I played football with the boys all day. I am starting a good suntan already. I think after I finish this letter I will sunbathe for a few hours. Since we have been night flying we have a little time to ourselves during the day. Some fellows can sleep all the day, but I can’t so, out in the sun I go.
They are talking of furloughs again. Boy! Wouldn’t that be something. If I do get a furlough I’m going to hop the nearest plane for good old Minneapolis. I hope they grant us a furlough-I really do think we deserve one but, you know how badly they need flyers today. All I can do is hope, I guess. Well, darlings, I think it is Valentine’s Day today. Remember in school how many valentines I received from my friends? I wonder where they are now.
I bought a beautiful pink shirt yesterday-$12 apiece.
Your loving son,
Jim
