Addressed to "Mildred + Eddie." He's intended to write them for some time, but he always seems to be busy "usually fixing up some contraption in his tent," or on a mission. He's flown a couple of missions so far and they haven't been too rough. His conditions aren't great, but they're improving. He doubts he'll ever go camping again. He found Barry's outfit a few days ago, and it's quite the coincidence! He received a letter from John, and asks the next time Mildred and Eddie write to John, to enclose his well wishes. He appreciated hearing from them.
The letter is marked "The Marianas, November 6th." "Letters in a Box" dates the letter as November 6, 1944.
