Hello Ma:
      This is just a short note to say that I am O.K. Enclosed are some pictures. Four of them are of me taken here in Australia. Two girls are sisters of John Hutchins. The other two girls, I used to go with at one time or another. Ma, I got a bet here with another boy from Baltimore. He claims that his section of the city has better looking girls that those from West Baltimore. Can you send me a picture of Dorothy Hammer and/or maybe one of Natalie Bartlett. The bet, if I win? One big bottle of beer. Well, so much for that stuff. I hope you like the pictures, mine anyway. I haven't done anymore flying lately. Well, that's all for now -

                  Earl

P.S. How is your work? Is Yvonne ready to go back to school?
