Scope and Contents
Charlie B to Betty Jean, Hampden. Air Corps Technical School, Lowry Field, CO; A/C Charles A. Burleigh
"Sorry haven’t written; been very busy; Armament school gets more complicated, so more studying. Take weekends off to go hunting & see the country. Met a few cowboys; some are illiterate. Got letter from Aunt Ester. Sent the Breck boys a picture of me like the one you have. Things looking good now, so might be commissioned Jan or Feb; just finished wk of machine gunning & now working w/airplane bombing. Beautiful weather last couple wks, and beautiful view of mts. Get up 3am & go to school to 12:30pm; grunts & groans of 150 men trying to pull selves out of bed. Give my regards to your sister & your Mom & Dad. Love, Charlie B."
