Addressed to "Dad and Bee." He hasn't received any letters to his new APO, so he's wondering if his parents have received his letters. He is worried about Pam, but asks that his parents keep him posted on her health. They've flown a lot and his plane led a formation on a simulated bombing mission. He's getting "excellent training here -- far better than in the states." He asks his parents to send him Ken's address, and he plans to head to the beach and tan after concluding this letter.
The letter is dated as "Monday July 24th." "Letters in a Box" dates the letter as July 24, 1944.
