Dear Folks:
            Got to Louisville about 5:30 to-day. Sat on a pile of baggage from Kansas City to St. Louis but had a seat the rest of the way. From Evansville to here sat with a registered nurse that had just joined the Air Evacuation branch of the Air Corp. She had been married just 5 days to a man in the ground force of this air corp. He was stationed in New Orleans and she was to be at Greensburough, N.C. Some family.
            Kentucky so far is pretty hilly and covered with trees that are turning all shades of colors now. Will stay here to nite and go over to the field on a bus to-morrow morning.
                                    Yours truly,
                                                John
