Tuesday Evening
Dear Mom + Dad,
Another
day dawns to a close and I’m sitting down again to write you. Today was a cold dreary day with snow in the
air and some of the came down. We are
flying mornings this week and we have managed to fly today before the real bad
weather sets in. It was sure cold up
there in those open planes but they manage to bundle us up very well. You should see our flying suits. They are leather and line with sheepskin and are
complete from boots (lined) right up to helmets + includes lined pants and
jacket. They are really warm and you
look like an eskimo bundled up in them.
Things
in flying aren’t going the way I would like them. For some reason it doesn’t seem to be coming
the way I’d want it to. If things don’t
pick up soon I’ll find myself going back to the army again. I’m not kidding and I want you to know how I’m
doing. Goodness knows I’m doing all I
can it just seems I’m not catching on fast enough. Perhaps I’m being a little optimistic about
it but that’s how I feel about by progress right now. I’ve really had no word from my instructor
but I can feel it. It’s not that I can’t
fly it that I may need a little more time that the army wants to allot me. Don’t feel bad about it as I don’t as I’ve
had no indications of washing out, this is just my idea on my progress. Lets forget it now and hope that the future
will change my viewpoint.
We got paid
today for the month of February. I
received $65.72 clear and I’m carting around over a $100 in my pocket. If I can get around to it I may send some
home. However, the future is so
uncertain that I may keep it in case anything should happen. It seems that I’ve had more money than I can
spend lately. It seems now when I get
down to $30 that I’m almost broke. It’s
just that I don’t get a chance to spend it.
Yes I do get off now and then but even then I don’t spend much.
I’ve
been waiting to hear from you the last few days and I guess you forgot my usual
Thursday letter. By the way did you
notify Readers Digest for my change of address?
I’ve noticed the new one is out and I haven’t received my copy as yet.
Well
that’s the story for tonight. Keep those
fingers crossed for me.
All my love
Bobby
