Box 1, Folder 14
Scope and content:

"Plans for a big time in Boston include you; will be very well chaperoned by myself, & escorted by a date, arranged by my girl.

You asked about my Army job: I'm Squadron Armament Officer; I take care of and repair all guns, bombs, ammo, gun turrets, bombsights, gun cameras, flares, flare pistols, and all small arms; also I'm Chemical Warfare & Base Defense Officer; have to check out all bombardiers & gunners, explain how to use equipment for best results ; supervise loading all bombs & ammo;

I do not fly in combat; my only flying is checking men & equipment in the air. Work itself is not hard, but changes, modifications, & little inventions we add for better performance make a lot of work & long hours.

Please send another picture of yourself. Love, Charlie B."
