My Dearest Brother-in-Law, Friday Thank you very much for your personal note writ by hand. How true you were ---- there was nothing important in it and my o my was it late. Please don't worry about my wooden leg for I have stuck a harpoon on the end of it and now pick up some loose change by picking up loose papers in the Public Park. As for my age all I can say is that thank goodness for the war. But tell me, brother, what does your address stand for? The AAF is easy for no doubt it means American Air Force but the B. U. has got me down. Does it mean Bushel Unit or Blueboy Underwear? Or AAF by Underwriters? And that F. C. S. is another mystery to the uninitiate. Anything might do such as Flying Crew Squadron, Funny Cavanaugh Squadron, Fewer Colds Squadron or any of a number of things. Please Feel Carefree to enlighten me on these Burdensome Unsolvables. As for interesting news, well we and the rest is censored and then there was the time and the rest is censored and then all that is censored too. So you can see for yourself how things are going here.

So-long,
Brother-in-law   /s/ Ro
