Dear Mom:

The stationary arrived ok, thanks a lot.

News is pretty scarce, I am still going to school getting all educated on the art of bombing.

Sure do have a good time around here, I have met a few girls so far and like the whole setup fine, I was pretty lucky being sent here if I have to stay in the states.

I am beginning to gain back the weight I lost in the last two weeks of advance and I feel wonderful.

I will know before long if I am going to stay here permanently and then we can work out the details of your trip. Don’t go worrying about Pullman fare. You are going to travel first class and I mean it. And I don’t want you fretting over the cost of things such as meals. You don’t go often and this time you are going in style. We’ll work it all out later.

I want you to come by way of Kansas, the Southern route is not good. The scenery is bad and the road bed is lousy. You would probably have to lay over in N.O. and El Paso and that is most tiring, I know. You can be inquiring about the trip and finding out how far in advance you will have to get a reservation.

I’ll be leaving for now, write soon.

Love to all,

Roy
