"Have seen cowboys, not as goodlooking as in movies; wear tall hats &high boots, but otherwise kind of dirty; their horses are smaller than riding horses in east, but kept in better condition, healthier, happier. Not doing any more flying; to be transferred to Airplane Armament; may get leave for couple wks, or may go directly to Lowry Field, Denver. You asked who was my girl; have one in Main, last June; she may be waiting for me to come east, but can’t be sure; in the Army, especially the air corps, you can’t worry about girls, for too many things come first. In the Armament branch I’ll be in charge of all the bombs, machine guns & 37mm guns on the plane; have to have 7 mos training; hope to enter Sept 15 class; if not will get couple wks leave to come home."
