Happy New Year!

 Dearest Mother & Dad,

             Today has been a red letter day in my life.  For the first time, so far, a Jap tried to knock me out of the sky but he didn’t succeed.  I was pretty scared after it was over but it only made me mad at the time.  You can’t imagine how much I think of my airplane now.  Boy, does that thing run!

             By the time you read this you will know what it is all about. It is really a great show.  Surely wish I could tell you all about it.

             Please don’t worry about me, Mom, for I ask for guidance every day and I feel sure He will take care of me.  I leave all my trust in Him.

                                                                                                 Love,

                                                                                                 Sonny

 Write soon!
