Dear Folks,

Arrived in here at noon. We’ll be attending Arizona State College for next 5 mo. if nothing happens. It is just like living in a frat. Four fellows to a room but so far they have been pretty strict. We are suppose to get some flying here but mostly academic courses. From what I hear, math, Physics, etc.

It is really beautiful here and not much different than N.U.[1]Northwestern University

We spent Sun in Los Angeles like I said but we had to stay together. We went though Olivia St. Remember when we went though this before? It is the same in fact I saw some turtles like I got before.

Love, Tom
