March 1, 1943
Tuscon Ariz.
Dear Dad + Mom:

    Well another month starts and I wonder what it will bring, perhaps a move, maybe stay here who knows. I'm ready to come up north as soon as I can tho, I'll never come here to spend a winter of my own free will.
    Mar. 2.
    I think I will go to the show, The fellows came along when I got just this far and I saw a very good one "Random Harvest" enjoyed it a lot. 
    Today my ship was jacked up and used for a school demonstration, pulling emergency landing procedure etc. Showing pilots + engineers what to do when certain emergencies arise. It should be a good thing for them.
    They just turned the lights out in the barracks so Ill have to finish this on the stairs and everyone is running up and down. I didnt get this written before 9 PM like I usually do.
  I'm going to enclose a money order for $80:00 and will send some more when I get my flying pay, it shouldnt be so long before we get this.

Saving...
