Dear Mother;
Here I am with a little time on my hands so I will write a short note to you. As usual everything turned out all right and I am on the Post with no serious complications. We were 45 minutes late but we straightened that out by the train being 2 hours and 1/2 late.
We were half way between Boston and Newton when I remembered I had a set of orders at home. It hit me like a ton of bricks and my first thought was to hop off at the next stop and get them. Of course that was foolish considering I had no other means of getting back. So I sent a telegram and hoped that you all would not get a bunch of ideas how to get it to me earlier. In fact I had visions of it not getting out at all. Well I worried all the trip about it until I went into the Adam's and found them waiting. I was sure happy.
I got a load of letters today and I read that one you told me not to just to see how sentimental you are. I got a kick out of it because it is all so far behind now. I guess I was more than welcome at home after all.
We had a swell trip, in fact it was the best one yet. There were so many people to talk to that the time just flew. It was a short trip and a lot of it was at night.
I guess I just wanted to tell you that I was OK and enjoying life. Lt. Smith wishes to go to the show so I will have to close on the shortest letter I have ever written I guess. Everything here is going to be fine. I will send some money home soon to cover my latest expenses. We will not get flying pay this month so I will not have too much money this month. I am still thinking about you coming out and see this part of the country. Maybe I will not be able to pay your way so you will have to talk to A.P.
I am in the Officer's Club and enjoying my relaxation. This is really a swell place. I will write again tomorrow and tell you about the trip.
With love
Austin
