Darlings,
Thanks a million for the box of candy. The boys really appreciate it. Say, mom, when I found out you couldn’t get batteries for my little radio I sold it to a guy for $16. Then I bought a general electric radio with the money. I got a good deal. It is a little larger but, it is nearly brand-new and has battery and cord. Don’t get vexed now. I didn’t tell the guy he couldn’t get batteries but, he didn’t ask me-that isn’t cheating is it?
We flew our last cross country last night. It took us nearly 3 hours. Boy! Your back aches when you sit in that same position for a long time. I’m getting these night landings down now. I can make three points nearly every time.
Everybody is talking of our furloughs-gosh! I hope we get them. The reason we have for furlough is that we haven’t had any weekend passes for quite a while. It would be so much fun seeing all my friends again.
So Eddie Beichlor came over for a visit. Poor little guy. Certainly would like to see him again.
Say, Mom, I haven’t had any letters from Bob Collard. Is he still stationed at the same base? I miss his letters.
Well, darlings, we have a period of drill coming up. Some fun!
Your loving son,
Jim
