| Love the little corporal stripes drawing! |
My Little Notes: Sounds like he is just steps away from being a corporal. It has been about a year now in his training and schooling. He sounds ready for Christmas and looking forward to his furlough in January.
He mentions Billy Becker which I assume is a neighbor or family friend. I don't have any information on him. Also, he mentions that his mom is trying to fix him up with Lorraine. I have a picture of Lorraine and I believe they did go out briefly, but sounded more like friends. Perhaps we will hear more about her later. He is smart I think not to get involved with a girlfriend at this time being in the Army Air Corps! He writes on both sides of the paper and the paper is thin, so I hope you can read the letter.

Picture taken about 1945. Left to right: My Dad (boy), friend of Lorraine's, Lorraine, and my grandmother. Note the picture on the back says "ex" for Lorraine!
