October 12, 1943- Postcard

Dear Mom, Pop, Jerry, Mary and Mat,
   Tuesday Oct ??? and all is well. No one could fly yesterday - too much wind. It would have been suicide to try and land one of these small planes. That is only the second we weren't able to fly in 6 wks. The other time there was too low a ceiling.
  Pop you see what is happening to your dear radio. Everyone and their cousins are trying to get the darn thing to work. It didn't give any signs of life until one of the cadets fitted it with a new plug. Now we get a humming but no stations. There's only one station we can get Las Vegas WFUN. That's how far we are from civilization. No demerits so far this week. That's about all.
