One letter from Joel L. Farrow to Doris Kitchens Farrow dated November 17, 1957. Joel updates his family on his health and advises them to take care of themselves. He asks Doris to subscribe to the Covington News for him instead of sending it to him. He gives condolences for Dr. Waiters death and agrees with how much the doctor helped his father. He also mentions that there are a lot of transfers between squadrons. He believes they will be deactivating the 41st and 39th squadrons soon. He also saw a friend Jack Wheeler who wanted his address.
