From April 3rd through April 7th, Tom’s squadron was occupied with moving from La Vallon Airfield in Southern France to St. Dizier Airfield in Northern France, about 275 miles. Wartime censorship does not allow him to discuss any of this.
8 April 45.
Dear Folks,
Sorry I haven’t written sooner but it couldn’t be helped. I wrote last night but had to retrieve the letter as I doubt if you would have received it. There isn’t much that I can say.
I received all of your letters yesterday, Elaine and Stan’s of the 23rd, Cleda’s of the 28th, and Dad’s of the 24th. It was certainly swell to get all of them. Cleda, you will have to tell me about your trip home and I haven’t seen the V-mail yet so draw your own conclusions. Elaine I hope Tom isn’t tearing up any more of your cakes, there should be an easier way of entertaining the grandparents. If stan has to go I hope your job deal works out OK ___________ but don’t work too hard. Hope to be able to write you later –
Love,
Tom
