Addressed to "Dad + Bee." He's been out of the hospital for a week, and went into LA illegally with his friends. One took them to Warner's and they saw Humphrey Bogart making a new movie. The army doesn't know what to do with him, but they'll probably put him in as a replacement for another unit. Something should happen within the next week, but he still has to pass his "64" [flying physical exam].
The letter is dated "Friday 24, 1944." "Letters in a Box," notes the letter was sent on March 24, 1944.
