Darling:
You may have wondered about recreation facilities. Here they are very satisfactory.
The Red Cross sponsors one hangout that looks like the Ritz Carlton. It has a tremendous lounge, grand piano, record player, and such sports as pool, ping-pong & shuffle board.
For four hours the lads have been having a jam session... an English RAF lad at the piano, one Indian trumpeter, one American 2nd Lt trumpeter, the American guitar man and an Indian scat singer.
You'd be amazed at the international feeling for swing. Actually the RAF player is as interesting at the piano as almost American I've heard.
Our day room is better than any I've seen in the states. We have broadcast recordings and movies at times. There are several good movies in town.
So you can see I'll have plenty of fun along with a full schedule of work. That'll help the time go faster and in some mesaure bring our reunion nearer -- hurry day!
P.S. At last mailed you your package -- delayed -- and it goes first class.
All my love,
S
