It is good to see the draft from Cox's is going through regularly. After paying my messing expenses out here I think I have managed to save a little for myself so I won't be short when I go on leave.

I suppose the only reason the service pilots were given a second "pip" is to allow of their drawing their old rate of pay, though we are mere Flying Officers. When one becomes a Flight Commander he also becomes a Captain. A Major commands a squadron, a Lt. Col. a Wing and a Brig. Gen. a Brigade.

Oh, by the way, I found Dick Hall here the other day. He is in another squadron on the same aerodrome so we had quite a confab. He is the son of the hall in the big stucco house up Linden a little way. He looks well but doesn't seem to enjoy the war any more
