Dear Folks:
            Got my new assignment. It is at Frederick, Okla. I don’t know what kind of work it will be, but the field there used to be an advanced flying school like the one at Lubbock. It could be several things but as usual will have to wait & see. Frederick is in southwest corner of the State near Texas border in Red River valley. You might pack my bags and send them by express to Frederick and I can pick them up at the station. The only address I have so far is Frederick AAF, Frederick, Okla. I’ll send a complete one later but that should get the bags there O.K. Myers, a lieut. I met here is going there also and we will leave here 9:30 to-nite by Pullman. Probably take 2 days at least.
            Went deep sea fishing but didn’t catch anything. Saw college football game at Orange Bowl last nite between U. of Miami and U. of Florida. 13-0 in favor of Florida. Lots of taxi cabs here — if you can afford them. Buses are 10¢ anywhere. Military laundry 24 hrs service. Yes go ahead and cut up the grey suit. We have to file an income tax return within 4 mons after overseas & I better pay it before I spend it for something else.                                    John
