Addressed to "Dad, Bee, and Jim." It was great to talk to his parents last night especially as his unit recieved an unexpected pass to "Frisco." It was a "rotten trip" up, but they were in an antique train. Due to censorship, his whereabouts are now "unknown" and he sent this letter from town rather than Hamilton Field. He's on his way to the next location and encloses a temporary APO.
The letter is dated "Sunday." According to a notation on the back of the envelope, it was received on July 17, 1944. However, as GLC09620.113-.115 are dated July 11 and 12, this letter is being recorded as July 9, the day before he boards the ship.
