Winfred asks Margaret how the world is treating her; just returned from a 17 day trip to Hickman, a search for Gen Harmon, Tarawa, Johnson Island, Los Negros, and Biak – 100 hours; flew back wounded, sick and insane; was glad to hear from Cliff who is in the thick of things; saw “Puss’ Brennecke playing basketball on Johnson Island; received a lot of mail when he got back; going out again in a couple days, dreads these long trips (13-16 hours at a time); feels like an old man; will try for something else but likes the bucks; don’t like the idea of flying to death – can hardly take it; must close.
