I expected our planes will be here soon and we can go to work. I hope they do before I forget all I might have learned. They have a lot of planes here but they all belong to other squadrons and many will soon move out. They really make a job of moving each squadron has its own particular equipment and it is moved lock, stock, and barrel wherever the squadron is moved. Wrote a letter to Jim & Irma last night or rather the nite before. Still [illegible] a lot of letters but have written quite a few since I've been here. Have been here a week tomorrow. It seems longer in a way but I can't say I dislike this camp at all. I didn't think at first I would like it but there seems to be a cool breeze here all the time and the air is good and clear I don't know what the elevation here is but it's pretty well up and that accounts for the cool breeze. Must drop the Dibbles a card and tell them I'm back in Utah, I certainly enjoyed visiting with them in Salt Lake. It seemed mighty good to get your long letter. So Wenger has the [illegible] mowed. I think Dad surely made a good sale on it. Are my cows milking pretty good? How many are milking now. I wrote to the [name?] the other day and thanked them for the pictures. I hope the oats crop is better than it has been the last year or two. I paid Herbie Sturms $20 on his painting once just see that he remembers it if he starts to paint again. Love, Johnny
