Addressed to "Dad + Bee." "Swell to talk to you all yesterday." All goes well, and he's leaving the hospital tomorrow after seven weeks. The leg is a little weak, but he's in good shape. He was wandering around base, confused as he didn't know anybody, but saw Eddier Cantor's broadcast with Carole Landis. He heard that Jack Benny, Kay Kyser, and Bob Hope were on base as well, but this was the first broadcast he made it to. He tells his parents to thank O'ma and Bunny for their letters.
The letter is dated "Wednesday 15th." "Letters in a Box," notes the letter was sent on March 15, 1944.
