Alexandria Hotel<\/a> in 2008, where Tom Cartmell stayed in 1943 while on a weekend pass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dear Folks,<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though it is late wanted to drop you a line while here at the hotel.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

It is good to get away from the base for awhile because we had a pretty hectic week. We didn\u2019t get away till late, and when you have several thousand cadets trying to go to the same place you are, somebody has to wait.<\/span><\/p>\n

We only have 3 1\/2 more weeks of school and will probably be around four a week after we finish school. There are so many primary training fields that it is hard to say just where we will go but most of us are hoping to go to Thunderbird<\/a> which is only about 20 mi. From Phoenix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well I don\u2019t want to get behind on too much sleep so will close. We\u2019ll try to write from camp tomorrow night.<\/span><\/p>\n

With love,<\/span><\/p>\n

Tom<\/span><\/p>\n
