Addressed to "Dad + Bee." Thanks them for "two wonderful weeks at home," as it is a great place, and it was far too short of a visit. His visit to Don worked out perfectly in Chicago. They wandered throughout Chicago and saw the film "A Guy Named Joe." They took a bunch of photos and went to The Brown Derby for a big steak before Don had to leave at 6:00PM. He had to wait for his flight until 1:45, and he was "feeling very low" knowing leave was over. He called up and met a friend of Pam's and they talked for a while before he went to more places. She left him at 12 and he bumped into "Capt. S." who bought him a drink and then he left to go to the airport. He thanks his father for the generous check to cover airfare and includes a change in his address. He hopes that his father's blood pressure stays down so he can help the Navy.

The letter is dated "Saturday Nite." "Letters in a Box," notes the letter was sent on April 15, 1944.
