Dear Folks:                                                12 July 45
            We stayed in Charlotte yesterday. Left there this morning about 11 and got here at 5:30. Took our time and stopped to eat muskmelon and ice cream on the way. I see lots of P-47 and a few B-26 on the field. They probably use the B-26 to pull targets for the P-47 to shoot at. Will find out the score to-morrow. There are tall pine trees all over the place. The field is 4 mile out of town.
            It was cloudy and cool all the way here to-day. What a name this field has. Too many “th” in it. Take some pictures of the harvest if you can. Don’t use this address yet.
