Addressed to "Dad + Bee." He mentions the swell conversation they had over the phone yesterday, and the terrible conditions. They are officially on their way to California, rather than being in Utah for 3 more months. He'll be heading to March Field, CA which is 60 miles away from LA, and supposedly it's very nice. He encloses a new address, and writes about the "gents in his crew." They are just missing a navigator, but they all seem like great guys. They'll be heading for more intensive training, and after walking through a B-24, he knows they all have a lot to learn.
Letter is written on "Officers' Club, Wendover Field, Utah," stationary and dated as "Sunday." "Letters in a Box" notes the letter was written on November 28, 1943.
