Dear Sisters.

I am fine & hope you are the same. I had K.P. yesterday & they really gave us one hell of a full day, but we gave them a merry chase trying to help us going all the time; for you are thanked just as much for doing a little as a lot so that is how it goes from 4 A.M. until 8:30 P.M. The weather is grand down here but it surely is getting warmer & warmer each & every day. No one in my class has gotten any shipping orders yet so I guess we are going to lay around here for awhile. In the meantime they could give us a furlough, but this is the air corp & they don’t give anyone a break if they can help, it especially the second air corps of which I am in but am still unassigned. I got my final school grade which was 90.08 & it gave me an excellent rating. It was like a report card. I sent that to Mary so I guess if she gets a chance she will show it to you.

I got a letter from Irma & Kathryn we are under a new set up that is why that Section I Platoon II. I guess these cocktail officers figured that all out between drinks.

Easter Taylor’s husband is younger than me & I think it time he gets its.

You seem to be planting lots of flowers I hope they all grow for you

Well I must get ready for an inspection. That is soon coming off in about a half hour so I’ll close for now. I am still hoping I get sent closer home than if I don’t get home maybe during the summer you could come & see me.

I hope you are all well.

So Long

Love

John
