"Got your letter about your operation; it's good you had them out, for a flying person gets into some awful places; I'm still waiting for the letter you sent w/the pictures. Been seeing the sights of Italy for two wks; just back to the outfit last night; traveling over here is fun & easy; go to an Officers' mess & eat all you want; I've covered most of England, Africa, and parts of Italy that way, & it works.
My chances of going home soon seem quite slim; kind of used to this life now and will be nicer w/warm weather coming, except for mosquitoes, malaria, flies & dysentery [about 'sirocco', wind & sand storm] Love, Charlie B.
P.S. Sgt Thomas didn't get home; he was sent back here."
