Addressed to "Dad + Bee." Glad to hear of Don's whereabouts and hopes he recieved a present from him. He's changed crews, and is now in the second phase, and doesn't have to repeat the "boring classes." A pilot walked in looking for an experienced bombardier, as theirs took sick. The new crew seems swell, especially as he was disappointed with his other crew. They were young and scatterbrained. He's glad his father is feeling better, and writes that he is proud of him no matter if he's a "Comdr." or "Mr." He hopes to try and call them tonight.

The letter is dated "Friday." "Letters in a Box," notes the letter was sent on May 12, 1944.
