Addressed to "Dad." Writes a quick "thank you" for a generous check from his father. Dropped two more bombs since he last wrote, and passed his "64" [physical], even though his eyes were considerably weaker this time around. Training is exhausting, the food isn't good, and they don't get enough sleep.
Letter is dated as "Monday Nite." "Letters in a Box" notes the date as August 16, 1943.
