                        Sun. 7: P.M.

Dear Folks: Got back in Manhattan at 6:00 — 2 hrs. flying time. Landed at Clay Center at 4:10 and Dr. Shepard spun the propeller for me when I left. Had a nice trip, hope you had the same. Won’t be flying much this week & try to pass the finals. Passed over Harold Hartner’s on way to Salina. Guess we’ll listen to the “birdie” sing all nite — they sound pretty happy right now. Nobody around here but us. Suppose kidde is getting in the proper state for her finals

            Yours truly
