25 March, 1944

Hello Darling, 

Just a note to say hello and to tell you that all is well and going smoothly. 

Have been going over quite regularly lately, and haven't had much time for anything else, including sleep. But I caught up again, and I fell just as good as new. 

How've you been? Fine, I hope. You must have a wonderful time with Helen, she's a good egg, isn't she?

I spent another 48 hour pass in London, and had the usual "rest." I had a good time, I usually do when I get away from the base. Darling, it's a relief to get away from all this routine. 

I'm ready for the rest home. I expect to go in about 2 1/2 weeks. I don't know where I'll go, but at least I'll have seven days in which to relax completely. And I'm going to do some high class "resting." I'm going to try to go up to Scotland where everything is peaceful and soothing. Good for the nerves, not that I need it, really I don't. I've been feeling extremely confident lately. 

I was awarded the Air Medal a few weeks ago. Forgot to mention it, sorry. Medals are alright I guess, but getting the crew back home every time is the important thing to me - nothing else. 

Darling, it won't be long now before I'll be heading home again. If my luck holds out, I'll finish up in two more months at the most, but where I'll go, or what I'll do then, I don't know. 

Some go home, others stay here when their tours of operations are over. Let fate decide all of that. 

That's all for today, darling, saying so long with all my deepest love. 

Your future "hubby",

Jim
