Approved address Greenville, Miss.Dear Folks,I won’t start a letter because there is no telling when I would have time to finish it. My trip from Clarksdale to here was uneventful, the usual thing, no sleep. It didn’t give me a cold this time though. Sunday and today we were orientated, tomorrow we will start flying. This will be the hardest part of my training –rough –but so am I. I’ll write or call when time permits.Love,Joe[postcard marked Feb.15 1944, Greenville, Miss]Addressed to:Mrs. E.A. Hays 512 W.
