Wednesday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
Here I go for the second time today but this one will arrive first as it is going out air mail the first thing in the morning. I want you to know all about this as it is the best news I’ve heard in a long time. In fact the best since they told me I could have a furlough. I’m going to San Antonio, Texas and I’m leaving Saturday. I just received the word tonight and I’m really happy about it. I told you about the boys going there and that I wasn’t on the list. Tonight they called all the air cadets together and my name is on the list to go to San Antonio. I said when I left Texas, I didn’t want to go back but here I am just overjoyed at the chance to go. San Antonio is in the nicer part of Texas. Anyway it will seem so good to get out of the bowels of California. I’m really happy that my transfer has come through so soon. Now I can get started on my career as an air cadet.
I’m really too excited to write much more this evening. I’ll try it again tomorrow on my regular system. I’m leaving Saturday and have to be there the 12th. I’ll be there before that as it is only about 1700 miles from here. I don’t think I’ll ride a troop train at least I hope not. I’ll try again tomorrow. I think you have the facts. It’s just that I can’t think of anything else. You understand.
Love
Bobby

P.S. Don’t write again until you hear from me. They would probably follow me but – I just received all my back mail today. I got one of yours postmarked Oct 19.
