We were to pull an acceptance check on it and the thing was to fly again but our [illegible] have been marking on it all day and it still isn't ready to go up. One of the boys from my crew left on his furlough today, he came in the 5th of June and lives in [illegible] Minn. he's a fine fellow, [illegible], but not a smarty one, very quick and certainly knows the airplane he's a farmer and thinks the middle west is the best place to live. I'm surely sorry about Mrs. Westons death it is certainly hard on the family, hope the sister can stay with them. How young is the smallest one, I know most of them are getting quite grown. I used to see Shirley + Tommy skating on the tennis court so much when I would go over. Your winter at home must be a fright but I'd like to be there regardless. Do you folks get all the meat, rubber, tea etc. you need. We have coffee but I never drink it as they make it so poorly. I don't have any of those little [illegible] kits have thought several times I would get one but haven't yet. Still don't have my sergeant stripes sewn on must do it to. Am going to play a game or twp of pinnachle tonight have found three other fellows who enjoy it as much as I do and it makes an evening pass quickly altho I should write a bunch of letters. Some guy has the "Grand Old Opry" and I'll bet Pap has too. Love Johnny
