Dear Frank,

I finally got your address from Eugene so I am taking this opportunity to write you.

When you get this I shall be in Maxwell Field the army pilot pre-flight school. Here I'll study code, navigation physics math and many other subjects that will be hard for me. Fortunately, thank God, they don't wash you out here but they try & get you through into primary training.

I passed all three of my tests for pilot, bombardier & navigator so if I should get washed out there's a chance I can come back in some other capacity.

You got a darn lucky break - to think that in a year you'll get your E.E. degree - boy that's really something. I guess your courses are really tough but I know of no one who would be a better match for them. How do you like Purdue University? I guess there are many nice co-eds there.

John is making out fine - he writes me twice weekly. He was turned down[?] for awhile because of his nose but thank God that is fixed now so who knows.

I guess it will be a long time before I see you but do write and tell me how things are. When this mess is over we're really going to have a time.

Oh yes, Skip Sclafani is down here with me.
Best of luck & God bless you

Your devoted friend

Johnnie Duffy
