Dear Mother and Dad:

    I got your nice box yesterday and Argo

today. Those honey cookies were swell I liked the
cut ones with coconut in especially. I made
these last a little better I don't know so many
fellows in the barracks. 604 I still get mail
to 607. maybe my card with change of address
on was lost. You just don't know how good
food from home tastes. 

    I went to town to church this morning

A beautiful church and fine service. They seemed
very glad to have soldiers there and everyone
was nice. Methodist church, I must write
& tell grandmother I went it may give her
a little piece of mind. Last Sun. 40 states were
represented on their register

    The first phase of school is almost 

over. it's been kind of tough & the rest of
it will be tougher I don't know how I'm
coming out but I believe I'll get there. The
instructor says we'll just get a hazy idea
of what we must know in the course. We
will then be sent out to some big airplane
factory as inspector or perhaps to some big
commercial airline for practical experience.

Saving...
