T have sleea a little basketball this weare We have a pretty
good team here on the campe We haven't lost a game yet and we have
played some wo tough teams tooe We play other squadrons and the
Players are from all over the U.S. I have seen a lot of different types
of basketball as they all play a litlle different style. Some of
the fellows have copied my shot,(the one you taught me) and have
bettered themselves by ite

I suppose you have noticed that I have been moved from Keesler
Field. I have only been here a couple of weeks ? but I like it fine.

This is a much better camp and theyytresat us more like white men heree

They have a lot of planes here and at the preseht time I am assigned

to a B-18 bomber. I like the work fine and I find it very interesting.
