Dearest wife,

I wrote you yesterday afternoon and soon after I was at mail call and got your special delivery letter and also the package. The nuts were very good and they are practically gone. Thanks a million. I wonder if you could send me a few more items? You’ll try? That’s good!

1 - Money belt
2 - rubber bands, if possible
3 - Military set - the best one with my nailfile
4 - rag for polishing shoes
5 - Portfolio I wrote about previously.
Also any letters from the boys as I would like to get their address. Thanx.

Well honey, it looks like I really am in the Air Corps now. This morning I was interviewed by the Lt. and he asked me several question such as, was I married, did my wife have means of support, were my parents living together, and was I ever arrested and all stuff like that. Then he said I guess your OK and good luck to you. So it looks like I’m in. All I do now is to wait for shipment. There are 2 former Madison schoolmates also cadets with whom I expect to travel and live. These are 2 others than the 2 I mentioned before who failed and have since been shipped out. All in all it looks pretty good.

Passes are just about as popular as Adolph Hitler around this place, so it looks like nothing doing for 30 days. However it still was wonderful to talk to you on the phone.

Just before this I wrote a letter to Eli and yesterday I wrote to your mother.

Tell me about your driving and about Evelyn’s. If Eli needs gas have him use the A-coupons that you have.

Tomorrow we are going to have Turkey and all the trimmings. No fooling - I’ll tell you all about it.

I saw Harold Gup at the movies the other nite when i saw Betty Grable. I shook hands and talked for only a few seconds and that is all. I will look him up again.

I will close with all my love from your devoted life pal and mate. Best reards to everyone.

Your loving hubby, Teddy
