Arkansas, 1943

A second letter implies that it may have been written in late 1842 or early 1943 as the regiment was about to enter jump school.

I hope that I’ll have more time to write. I’m expecting some more tough training for about 6 wks and I’m going to try my best to get my wings. but their is a chance of me not making it, but I’m going to try my best. Mother so I haven’t a chance to write so often please don’t worry, the Army takes the best of care of their men. “please don’t worry”. Tell Mary I’ll write later for I have quite a list of work to do. We have to keep ready to ship out any time. I wrote to Rupert but I haven’t gotten an answer. It seems so hard for me to sit down and write a letter but maybe It’ll be a little easier once I haven’t so much to do. Well I’ll close for now and be expecting to hear from you as soon as I hit the next camp. So I’ll close and remain
