Kelly Field, Texas, August $, 1918. I received your jetter and the girls’ letters Saturday and was awfully glad a bear from you. We enjoy being home this summer to enjoy a few days at the lake. We do not know what a cool day is down here And it los o long since I've seen any grass or shade trees that I hardly bettowe Fe pet each thing. Honestly, Mrs. Rows, I wouldn't give my back yard for all that I have been of Texas. The heat and dust are something force during the day, but the nights are lovely and cool. I enjoy flying very much, and of course, think it is the only thing go ing. The air is rather rough and bumpy, due to the excessive heat and it in real work to keep a ship level. About the hardest part of fying is landing. To land a ship nicely with out bumping takes a great deal of practice and a great deal of patience. Straight flying in the air is very simple and easy. A ghip will fly by finest, which shows that it hasn't a tendency to plunge to the earth as most people think. It really isn't as dangerous at high altitudes as it is at low altitudes, Woe very seldom think of canger tn Nying. Well do I remember our wild trip in the lake in the buckboard. The screen door took up half the road and we were in the ditch most of the time avoiding autos and the mosquit os. They weren't satiered with half the road; they wanted it all, and they had their way. I'd enjoy any kind of a ride now if it was only up north. When I get home again I'm just go ing to live at the lake. I do not expect to get through here before November, so there is no chance of my saving the lake this year. Hoping that you and Mr. Ross are enjoying the best of health, I remain. As ever, GEORGE R. CASSIDY. San Antonio, Texas.
