Description

Best sends a change of address to the Aztec News Letter. He is now with a "composite" squadron, a group operating both bombers and fighters from aircraft carriers. In answer to Lauren Post's questions, he has received no decorations and does not know anyone named Chatterley. He asks after Dave Askenaizer and says to "keep up your excellent work."
