Addressed to "Dad + Bee." He flew his first mission and it was no "tea party," but he ought to get through thirty-nine more. He and others from camp have been trying to make their area more livable, so they built tables, racks, and shelves from old bomb cases. He never wants to go camping again after this.
He was very happy to have finally received a letter from Bee that was written on the 10th, so he hopes it's a sign that a lot of letters will be coming soon. He misses hearing from them regularly. He asks about the packages and card he sent them, and wants to know what is happening with Don as he was about to go overseas.
