Scope and Contents

"Another Merry Christmas wish to you.

Now I’m a very much engaged man even though I do not act it; supposed to be married (Boy I’m henpecked already) as soon as I hit the States; I hope you’ll be present as one of the chief mourners; you can come up to Boston w/my Mom; will be some great times. Work here slowing up for the winter: fixing up our tent & getting ready for a big spring; still fight the war but has slacked off & we can get some sleep. About this country: a hell hole of filth & disease; once I get back in States, I’ll stay there, probably in New England.

Wish you luck on your flying; lot of fun in a small place; these large ships are very monotonous, much like riding a train without the click of the rails; to be a good pilot, must know your engines. Love, Charlie B."
