are better than 6 to 8 dollar shoes downtown Have a different ship now a little newer than my last one but it has lots of hours on it. Its one we've had in our squadron for a long time, we got it when we were in Pueblo last fall. My last one also went to Sacramento for a modification on the tail assembly. We were restricted in our barracks today too much dust behind the clothes and in [?], between the studding and sills and stringers. So they won't issue any passes for tonight. Doesn't bother me much anyhow wasn't going in. The sheet metal men have made individual ashtrays for each bunk from tin cans with a clip to hold them to the bed. a strict army regulation about smoking in your bunk and then they do that. Mine will be empty most of the time anyhow. Started to ship my footlocker home a few days ago and they wanted $3.47 thought that was too much. A guy standing in the depot asked what I'd take for it. 2 bucks I said so he handed me two silver dollars. I certainly had $2.50 worth of good out of it. Must try and write another letter on Tues. Love Johnny
