Addressed to "Eddie." He writes it was good to hear from Eddie via his official report. He's completed thirty-five missions, and is "sweating out those last five raids as if they were fifty-five." The strain and tension are hell. The big news is that Barry got into the V-12 college program.
It's offically the rainy season and he experiences ten to twelve downpours a day. He is upset over those who write how lucky he is to be in the "Sunny Pacific" and writes "you can have it all, any time!!" He gives his best to Dotsie and the boys.
Post-Script: He thanks him for the box of chocolates and says that Mr. Peterson must've thought he was on another island. It would've been great to see Eddie.
Edward Greenbaum is his unlcle, brother of his mother Isabel.
