Carey starts off his letter by telling his mother that he should take the time to write more often to his mother and wife Florence. He asks his mother if she is liking her new job and he tells her that he hopes that she isn’t working too hard. He tells his mother that he is anxious to return home to see his wife and baby, and perhaps take a trip to California to visit his mother and brothers. He tells his mother that he hopes that his brother Pat will not have to go unless he wants to and if he does he should join the same squadron as Carey. He suggests that his brother gets into aviation once the war is over.
