January 9, 1944
Dear Folks, This is the day that I should have started on another 71. I had one all signed and sealed for the 9th, 10th and 11th, but all 71’s were cancelled, as we are leaving for Boca Chica sooner than we expected. Tomorrow the 10th we are slated to take off. By the time you receive this, I’ll already be in Florida. It shouldn’t take us but 4-6 hours to get there by plane. Not everyone is traveling by plane, just the crews. The trip should be good experience for me as I’ll have a lot of radio work to do. Right now it’s snowing and I hope it clears up by the morning so we can take off. It’s going to be a pleasure to operate in good flying weather again. Down here in Carolina we’ve had nothing but rain and snow since the cold started. We’ll be in Florida about two weeks, and do nothing but fly and fly. I haven’t heard anything about a change in address, since we’l be gone such a short time. Continue writing to my present address, until I notify you of any change. While I’m in Florida, I may get a chance to go to Havana Cuba, an it’s not very far from where we’ll be. I have all my summer clothes packed in a nice suitcase I was issued. It’s a good thing I had all my khaki trousers, hats and shirts laundered. Now, I can’t get caught with “my pants down”, and have to do them myself. I’ll close now hoping that you’re all in the best of health. Give my regards to everyone. Love, Ed P.S. Did Olga receive the gloves I sent her?
