Kansas City has been so gay that I've had little time to get into the little details around a house that need attention before I report to Sampson AFB , New York (3650th Mil. TRg. Wg) the 17th of November.

By leaving K-13 Saturday 2 Oct instead of Monday 4 Oct as originally planned, I was in San F. the 6th instead of just reporting to Fuchu where they were scraping the barrel to fill the seats. I'm so sorry the rush made me miss a trip into Tokyo to see you and meet your wife whom, I understand, is now there also.

Last night the paper announced your promotion and of course I'm glad to see it for it is so richly deserved. I wonder why they took so long since they claim promotions are based on the best qualified. Your hand is probably aching from local well-wishes so here is a hearty congratulation from long distance.

Sincerely
