Darlings,
Please excuse the pencil but I am in a terrible hurry. We were given a 48 hour pass (which is the longest pass I have ever had in this army). We will finish night flying for good tonight so we can leave the post at 12:00 AM tonight. We plan to catch the 3:00 AM train to Los Angeles. I hope I can buy some parts to my uniform-also see some bright spots. The PX has some articles of our officers uniform that I like but the others are terrible. At least that’s what I think. Some guys buy anything but, not this kid. If I have to go to New York to buy the kind of hat I want-I will go.
The Air Forces have different types of uniforms that the ground officers cannot wear. I suppose you have seen the Garrison hats without the metal bands and the punched in tops. That’s strictly Air Force and, no one else.
Well, darlings, I will try to write but, don’t expect too many letters.
Your loving son,
Jim
