Dear Folks:                                                19 Nov. 1944
            It has been raining the last few days so no flying. It is clearing off this afternoon. We are going to have a big parade and inspection to-morrow. Friday nite Myers & I went to a boxing match in the gym. The match was between the enlisted men of A.A.F. at Altus and on this Field. The army won’t let cadets box because of danger of nose injuries. Last nite we went to a General Electric demonstration at the theater and then to a basketball game between F.A.A.F. and Sheppard Field, Texas. Shep. Field was supposed to win but lost 55-45.
            I sent the watch last week to you. I got me one here. Can’t get a G.I. watch. $25 on the watch would be plenty. I’ll send my income tax forms up and you can send them with the money to Topeka — I suppose its Topeka but don’t know. I don’t know whether I’ll like instructing or not yet. The B-25 is a good ship to fly. It flys about as well on one engine as on two, which couldn’t be said about the B-26. The controls were in a handier position on B-26 and it had a lot more room
                                    Yours truly,
                                                John
