October 8, 1943 - Postcard

Dear Mom, Pop, Jerry , Mary and Mat,
  Received letters from Jerry & Mary yesterday and from Mom & Mat today.
   The paid us today but only $35. We usually get $38. I imagine they are starting to take out for my bond. I will not send any money home this check as I would like to have some spare money in case of an emergency.
   I have 33 hours in air to date. Lately the air has been very bumpy. The plane is tossed around like a Mexican jumping bean.
   I imagine Gene has dropped in to see you. I am alone in the room and certainly miss someone to battle with.
  How's that Rambler team making out, Jerry? I hope they are doing a little better than last year.
  I have fallen back in my letter writing. Time is gold out here and you certainly battle for every bit of it.
                                                             Jim
