29 August 1943
Stone, Robert L., 1921-2009
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Jacob Stone and Beatrice Stone
Addressed to "Dad and Bee." Thanks them both for the thermos as he is now "the envy of my flight," as he can drink something while on a mission. He's flown "double missions three days," with a four-hour navigation flight. This week five more "kids" washed out as their bombing missions were not great. The people in charge have added a parade on Sunday afternoons, since they "have too much free time." Post-Script: Gives his best to O'ma and apologizes for not being able to write back. Letter is dated as "Sunday." "Letters in a Box" notes the date as August 29, 1943.
