Darlings,
Happy birthday mother! I hope you have received my picture by now. I am a little worried about it because I couldn’t get into town in time to send it myself so I had the man send them. I had it insured so I think it will be okay.
Mother, darling, you shouldn’t have sent me so much for Christmas. I certainly can use it though. I need some new underclothing and lots of odds and ends. It will come in very handy-thanks again darling-
So happy to hear that Jocie and Mrs. Haynes are getting better. I was really worried about poor Mrs. Haynes. I think it would be pretty hard on Dr. Haynes alone in that big house.
I’m going to try and call tonight-I can hardly wait it has been six long months since I talked to my lovely family. Gosh! I hope I can get that call in. If you don’t hear from me today you can expect a call tomorrow.
I can’t realize that I am 3,000 miles from home and Christmas is so near. It doesn’t seem possible that I won’t wake up in the morning to rush downstairs and open my packages.
Well darlings we haven’t been flying for a week now. The weather has been too bad. They say if we can’t fly they will send us to Advanced anyway. I hope we fly soon though I need plenty of practice before I get into that fast advanced ship. The advanced ship will fly about 250 mph-hot stuff-
Well, darlings, we have been laying off on flying but we have covered two days of ground school in one, ever since the bad weather. They won’t let us rest, I guess.
Love,
Jim
