Don't the Carpenters come at the darnedest times after you waited for Tillie so long.thats always the way tho isn't it. I'm proud of your aircraft spotters ability of course a B-17 has four engines (9 cyl radiat Wright 1820's). The B-25's - 26's, A-20's have two engines could have been one of those. I don't know planes as well because I don't like them well enough Still wonder how it happens I'm crew chief on a four engine bomber worth a third of a million dollars. Guess they just had to have someone and weren't too particular. Glad the corn is growing fine that makes me feel good, expect the haying has started or will very soon. Everything sounds quite encouraging tho for another crop even tho spring did hold off so long. The R.E.A. Is now actually coming thru is it. Wonder what restrictions and limits there are on getting materials wish I was home to see about it but whatever Pop decides to put in is OK by me. Tho it may cost a little more now expect there is more money to do things with. I'm of the opinion tho now is the time to save money and that's what I'm going to do while I have the chance. He news tonight so good night. Love Johnny
