Dear Folks:
            Got here O.K. about 8 P.M. yesterday. The roads were very good. There are a couple stretches in Texas on 70, I think, that had 25 miles between towns. Frederick wouldn’t give me any gas but I have plenty with what Marvel Lee gave me.
            Everything looks familiar around here. It seems like I’ve lost a couple of years somewhere. I was here you know in summer of 43. I’ll start flying to-morrow. Did I mention that course is 6 weeks? I don’t know whether I’ll hear anything from the communications course or not. No one knew about it at Frederick.
            It seems it has been very dry here but wheat is making 15 to 20 per. It was averaging 25 around Frederick. I got your letter of June 10 just before leaving Frederick & rest will follow me. What did Wixom get fined for?
