Addressed to "Dad and Bee." Acknowledges the big event yesterday, and he wishes he could've been home for it. He writes that he's graduating in a week and a day, and everyone is a wreck from their night flights. They caught up on their bombing, and tomorrow he's going to drop his "last four qualification bombs." They also have to log forty-four hours of navigation, but that's just a matter of logging the time, rather than missions.
Closes the letter asking for all of the wedding details, before going to bed at 6:00PM.
The letter is dated as "Friday Night." Circa date drawn from content relating to Ken's wedding and Stone's graduation date.
