Sunday night 26 March, 1944

My dearest, 

Just a short note because I'm very tired. But I have to let you know that every thing is still alright. 

Back to the old grind again after a day off (yesterday). God knows how many we'll do next week. When they start going, they don't know when to stop I guess. 

Good news! Ferg got his promotion yesterday. It's now First Lt. Ferguson. We're all happy as he is. He won't say it, but he's mighty proud now that he's wearing those silver bars. He's a good boy, Ferg - I wouldn't want to fly with anyone else. 

The enlisted men will be getting their promotions soon - I'm hoping they will any way. 

As for myself, naturally I'd like it, but it doesn't mean too much to me - not really (I keep telling myself). I'll have to admit that the silver bars would certainly go a long way towards raising my morale. But seriously, if I finish up in one piece, I won't expect anymore. 

I was awarded the Air Medal for the second time, today. That gives me a gold leaf cluster to wear over the other one. As would be expected, I'm proud to war them, but they don't mean much after all is said and over with. Getting back is the real goal!

Until tomorrow my darling, you have all my sincerest love. 

Always, 

Jim
