Well, the razor finally arrived - tell me what it cost, I'm curious. I like it OK but it only works when my beard is short. Is that the kind Harold likes so well? You know from your description of the living room I'm eager to see it. How's the rest of the house coming? All you talk about is the living room, aren't there any more rooms in the house? The next thing I know you'll be buying a plane or something.

Oh, the CO is giving us a little present tomorrow for establishing a record for flying hours flown in one month. In the month of May, Biggs Field totaled 11,000 flying hours - well, we are getting tomorrow off and since we were supposed to fly tomorrow night, we get Sunday off too. That means we'll get some more golf in. The heat doesn't seem so bad down here. It sure gets hot but it's a dry heat so you don't suffer, just burn.

You asked what happens when the skipper moves to town. Well, I'll just live alone then. His wife is due here Monday. Did I tell you he's from Cincinata, OH? Oh yes, we got to go up alone on Thursday - I mean, just our crew. I like the plane fine, it flies nice - much easier than the 17. On the days we don't fly we got to ground school for 8 hours. Boy, that's rough. As for the shirts and pants, get something cool - no wool or nutting. I don't care as long as it's cool and light weight. Two shirts and two pants would be swell. Shirts, 14 one half, 33 and pants 30 - 33. Oh, I say Pa, you could sen me a bottle of Old Taylor or something. I'm going to drop a letter to Aunt Eva and tell her there's a shortage of chewing gum here. Well, that's all for now, I'll write soon.

Love,
Rae
