Winfred writes Margaret he is back early – only went as far Guam and Saipan – 65-70 hours – nice trip but flew night & day with little rest – tiresome – flies 13 – 14 hours at a time at 10,000 ft – dropped twenty pounds; feels pretty good – has a nice tan; guesses Cliff won’t be home for some time – still intends to get a furlough ASAP though not likely (his engineer got one this week – there is plenty of them); hears often from Uncle Norman but has a hard time reading them; tells the gals not to take up flying – sees no future in it – strictly for the birds; once out intends to always keep one foot on the ground; closes to prepare for a trip to town; encloses some Japanese money.
