Dear Bennett—

I had a most uneventful trip back but a five hour layover in Omaha made me get in at 2-15 in the morning. I saw the CO at eight o’clock and at 10 I was on my way to Gulf Port Miss. in a B24. Remained there overnight and was back here last night. Three days in the air is too much for a man of my tastes. I don’t like flying that much.

We’ve received our mission orders for Oct. 1, but the lot is still fighting for an extension until at least the 15th. I’m to go over with the advance party, the CO, S3, Communications Officer and myself. That means two crack pilots and a nice new ship so that’s agreeable to me, but when we’ll leave, I don’t know. If we don’t get an extension we should go to-day—but that’s set! The Col. has a habit of getting what he’s after so I think he’ll succeed.

Again thanks for your party—Due to Phyllis’ and your kindness and graciousness it was much better than I anticipated. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. And don’t ever worry about anything coming between us. Nothing can and nothing will and that goes for wives, children or mistresses! I was delighted to find you well and contented and going ahead with your writing. It’s good stuff and please don’t get lazy with it again.

My very best to the office gang. I was sorry to leave them all. I’d like to pitch in and work, but I guess I have a full time job on my hands now!

All love,

Donald
