Enroute Colon, Panama
November 2, 1940

Dear Educators:

Four days out of New York we passed the Bahamas todaye
The event of the day was the catapulting of our
three planes. The first four days for me will prove
the hardest because we have been standing 4<hour
watches in the extremely hot engine rooms
their functions. Most of the watches have been at
night and that is just lost sleep, but that is

over nowe This has been the first really free time
I have had. Wow what a relief to think of a

full night of sleepe I'm looking for a National
championship from the BeB. team this year = Don't
let me downe
