Addressed to "All." He apologizes for not writing lately, but he has been flying a lot. Recently, to Johnston Island and to Midway, which was an eleven-hour mission. He thanks them for writing constantly, and lauds Bee on her gossip skills. He's not sure if he'll be able to see a friend of his father's before he gets shipped out.
