EDITOR’S NOTE: Winfred sent two letters home on February 13, 1945; one to the Folks and one to Margaret.
Feb. 13, 1945 (2) 2740 WM Suisun A.A.B – Fairfield, CA
Winfred tells Margaret he will be on ‘alert’ tomorrow for his first trip to the Islands – 10 to 18 days; all is well – likes the climate, thinks he will like the job and base (only there a small part of the time); heard from Cliff who seems fairly happy – glad he’s not in Texas; no chance for a furlough for 2-3 months; asks about the Dickeys and if she gets home anymore; wishes they could all get together for a family dinner – fine war!, and closes be good.
