Addressed to "Dad, Bee, Don, Jim, Barry, + Ken." He apologizes for the lapse of mail, but he is now the "proud possessor of a very impressive diploma" as school sped up massively, but he's done. He is now flying all the time, and the next time he writes he might not be in Hawaii. He can't write about it, but tells his family to follow the "7th AAF Liberators." He tried locating Barry, but with no luck. He hopes to bump into him soon.
The letter is dated as "September 1, 1944." "Letters in a Box" dates the letter as September 1, 1944.
