Dear Folks:
            Nice day to-day. 3 more radios were made in this barracks last week. Strieber started one yesterday. The radio store in Champaign hit the jackpot by being so close to a radio school. Strieber and I flew awhile this morning. I am going to wire Frederick this week for a 10 day delay enroute. I may not get it until reassigned from Frederick which will probably be soon after I get back there. Have 2 weeks left. I bought a wool summer shirt $15 and will get a pair of pants to match $15. One suit of that is enough. Got a letter from Jo. Wrote Aunt Hattie last week.
            Is Aunt Lou still there? Can’t think of anything else.
