VAMAIL

Dear Mom & Pop

Well, here's a vmail letter and I'm going to write a letter tonight too so you can see which is faster.

I got four letters today. One from Son one from Aunt Elsie and one from you the other was just the comic strips with no letter or nothing. This is really going to be something - I have to write two letters and I don't ever have enough to fill this page. Have you heard from Robin yet? Be sure and send me his address as soon as you get it. Surprise the mud has just about all dried up. We don't ever have to wear boots nay more. I told you how Lew got way ahead of us by going to France - well he's only got one sortie to go and he'll be finished - will sure miss him. He's the best Navigator in the Air Force and I mean it. That's all for the letter now for the other one.

Love, Rae
