Addressed to "Dad + Bee." He just wrote his parents a long letter, but wanted to tell them that he and Barry had lunch. He took them for a bite to eat, and everyone ate better than they had in a while. He gave Barry and his friends a tour of a ship and drove them back to their base about twenty minutes away. He's going to try and take Barry up on a "local test hop" if he can.

The letter is dated "The Marianas, October 5th, 1944." "Letters in a Box" notes that this letter was probably written in November as GLC09620.142 is the first mention of the step-brothers visiting each other, and Bob was not in the Mariana Islands on October 5th.
