Dear Folks:                                                12 Mar. 45
            Nice day today. I went to Chicago over the week end to get some radio parts so am behind on studying again. I went and came back with a lieut. here in the barracks who had a car. Named Chalwick and I stayed at his folks house Sat. Nite.
            Some of boys are hustling around with their income tax forms. I saw Nevins Johnson & talked with him awhile. He works on the line as a service man for transient aircraft that come thru here. Must make this short, no news “no how”. Suppose you have your chicks. Nevins would weight more than his dad, sure is a hunk of man.
