Addressed to "Dad and Bee." Tough week with tests and two big parades and it's warmer. He was made the Squadron Supply Sgt. and is now in charge of the supply room and shoe repairs. The job comes with a lot of benefits, including his own room. Bob left base to go to Houston and go swimming in Galveston. He was a "dope" and was out in the sun too long. He is miserable and burnt.

He thanks Bee for attending to his pen, and asks if she could send him a pair of swimming trunks.

The date is written as "Sunday Nite" but "Letters in a Box" notes the letter was written on May 2, 1943. Letter is typed on U.S. Army Air Forces letterhead.
