March 12, 1944 (V-Mail date: March 14)
Dear Mom + Dad,
Received mother's letter of March 1st if as yet Jack's
predicament has been straightened out it will when you receive my most recent
airmail letter. Aas yet I have not received my first package of food but that
has to be expected with the mail situation as it is. Undoubtedly one of these days it will find
its way into my hands and then everything will be fine. I am up for promotion
to Lt. This time it is official and all
it is a question of time until it goes through the proper channels. In other words I will have it as soon as I'm
officially notified of it. It may be a few weeks yet but I will get it
eventually and that is all that counts. We have a new pilot as of today and are
all ready to go again. We were supposed
to go today but the mission was cancelled so we never did get off. I think after five more missions I will be
checked out as first pilot. The only reason I want it is that promotion came in
better as first pilot and that means more money for me in the long run. Kay
said she might drop in on you at my last report, as she is expecting to go to
New York for a weekend. I hope she does. Still number one on my list and a
grand gal. That's about it for now. I'll
see you soon
All my love
Bobby
