Hi Toots:
Yeh, I’m a bad boy to say it, but it was awful lonesome last night without you. What is it that makes me love you so much?
There’s nothing much new here. We’ve been flying formation all week, and it is great sport. Next week we’ll probably start in on some more night flying. Class work is rapidly coming to an end, for which I am very thankful.
Latest indications are that we only have two weeks of maneuvers. If such is the case, we may (probably will) wait until just before the deadline. Then I will have had a chance to get squared away etc.
In some ways, it is much better that we spend these last few months apart. I’m afraid neither of us could wait for some things until the ceremony was over.
That’s about all here except to tell you again that you are very precious and very much mine.
Lots of love. Cy.
P.S. I wrote mother and told her we were planning on being married this spring. Yippee!
