Dear Folks,<\/p>\n

I have finally got some stationary. I had ordered it about 2 weeks ago but it just arrived today. The C.O. said it was ok to have aviation cadet on them that way we can use it throughout our training.<\/p>\n

Mr. and Mrs. Perkins<\/a> drove us back. We have about an hour before our parade. Our flight won the squadron competition last week so we are putting on an extra drill today. I hope everything goes ok. because if we win that means a couple of extra merits. The way they are starting to gig now all of us can use all the merits we can get.<\/p>\n

Your letter was waiting for me when we got back. It was really swell to get the pictures. Karen certainly has grown alot, no kidding, in the picture where she is standing on the porch she looks like a young lady.<\/p>\n
