Hello,

Just a note tonight to ask you about something I forgot last night in my letter. About this years Christmas for the Aunts, Uncles & cousins. How about me pitching in with you folks on the deal. I have the money but not the time. If this is OK with you just let me know how much money you want and I’ll send it. I hope this is OK. and it will really help me alot. What ever the cost is just let me know.

I finished up my flying time today and really had a time. Was up doing 3 hrs. of acrobatics and really know it tonight. It is about as rough on a person as a game of football.

Give Karen a kiss for me.

With love,

Tom
