Addressed to "Dad + Bee." Life is very routine as they finished classwork and have been on the range. Next week will be a course in "air to air firing." He's been living and eating like a king, but he knows it will come to end soon enough. He writes that they'll probably go to the "Bonins" next.

He thanks Bee for sending him magazines and talks about how weird the mail system is. He's hoping to bump into Ken if he should ever come this way. He also asks if Bunny got his letter and to tell her she owes him one!

The letter is dated as "Thursday 17th." "Letters in a Box" dates the letter as August 17, 1944.
