Addressed to "Dad + Bee." Thanks them both for the "swell birthday letters and for the over-generous check." He had his first pass and went to Hollywood. They "did a little drinking and saw some entertainment," but his birthday didn't feel like his birthday, and he wishes "this mess was over." Thanks his parents for the call on the 19th and apologizes for the reverse charge.
The letter is dated "Tuesday." "Letters in a Box" notes the date as December 21, 1943.
