Mission #4 - Brussels Marshalling yards. 2300 gal. gas, 7 x 1000 GP  - 4:15 total time. We got some swell hits right smack in the middle of the yards. Letter from Adele in 6 days written April 24. Fast service.

Nothing much, censored mail. Packed up half-dozen hankies. No fly for a change. V-mail from Adele written April 9th.

Slept late in the AM - flew practice mission in afternoon - mailed hankies home. Letter from Eli.

Alerted and woke up at 2:00 AM. Took off for Brunswick, but turned back after going halfway over Channel, because of weather on the Continent. Recall word "City." Letter from Adele - 2 - one V-mail and one air-mail.

PW lecture at 7:00 PM. 3 letters, Adele, Avie and Aunt Fay. U.S.O show, went to hospital to visit C.E. Had bike all gone over - real nice now.

2 hours fly time this afternoon. Received 18 letters today. Big inspection today. Learned how to use liaison radio set and transmit to ground stations by Bray.

Mission #5 to Onasbruck, Germany. 5 hours. 52 x 100 lb incendiary bombs. Came back and went on pass. Slept in Norwich that nite, almost froze hands.

Took 7 o'clock train for Liverpool arriving at 3 o'clock. Got a mailman to drive me out in big truck to APO 507 orderly room where I learned that Lenny was out on the inspection grounds. I hung around and waited until they were through then called Len. He cleaned up, I met all the guys in his room. Then he got a pass and we rode a train which resembled the Long Island RR. In fact one of the stations was called "Hillside," just like N.Y. We went to Southport, a resort town on the sea and hung around. We ate at the Red Cross club where I got a room for the night. We sat around and gabbed until about 11 PM when he had to take the last train back to his base. I walked him to the train station, where we said so long for then. He sure is one swell egg. Real nice boy. It seems after 2 years of working at the docks he is going to move closer to a combat area - but he said he was getting fed up anyhow. Will wait and see what develops. Took pictures in the A.R.C. yard.

Lenny (Leonard Morris) is Ted's brother-in-law.

Got up at 9:00 and took off for Liverpool at 10:20, finally arriving back at camp about 11:45 PM and went to bed. First I read my mail and ate a K-ration. Almost fell over (in bed) when I learned about Jerome and Florence. WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! I hope they will both be very happy. I sure know they will. Went to sleep (after eating).

Jerome Elman is Ted's brother, Florence is Jerome's wife.

Slept late - Nothing much doing today. Learned about McKay, Parker, Perro, Stilbert - Too bad.
