Addressed to "Dad and Bee." He is on detail as a runner in the section headquarters and writing this letter when he is sitting around. No word on when he will start his "psychs" but could start next week. Mentions that many fellows are getting their classifications and disqualifications, thirty-five men have "washed out," and many more are waiting to hear back.

Writes briefly about being out of quarantine and meeting Lois and Phil for dinner at the Andrew Jackson. He and the other men now have Wednesdays and Fridays off. Details rigorous training program of two lectures, drilling, and mass callisthenics. In addition, they still participate in guard duty, K.P. [Kitchen Patrol], latrine, and other duties on the base.

Thanks Bee for the towels and "handkerchiefs" and asks that as soon as his watch is fixed to send it to him. Asks for all of his "underwear shorts" and black sneakers to be sent to him.

The letter is written on stationary with "U.S. Army Air Forces" written in blue at the top of the letter, with the blue U.S. Army Air Forces logo.
