Dear Mom,
We arrived at the field about 10:30 last night. I was very disappointed at not being able
to stop over in Chicago for a while but we whipped across Union Station and left within fifteen
minutes.
Madison looks like a very nice town seeing all the college boys around reminds me of
Berkeley. But the field is poor; the barracks are tarpaper, heated with coal stoves, and it's in the
worst location in the neighborhood, as usual. It's supposed to have the best runways and
landing strips in the country though.
What is the Hogness' address? If our passes are 24 or 36 hour I can run in and see them.
Love,
Linus
