Winfred writes to the folks. He has not received any mail for the past 4 or 5 days. He no longer gets a daily letter from his girl. They ‘ve been flying every day for a week; went on a search mission for a lost plane that went down; the radio operator did not tell them the location. Went on a cross country hop; flew over Boulder Dam; next going on a practice gunnery mission over the Pacific; says he is pretty well set on going across soon.
