21 February 1938

Dear Mother:

I received your last letter this morning. Sorry that I didn't see Mr. McCall and Florendine.

I did over three hours of flying today, and am feeling rather tired as most of it was at high altitude.

Tomorrow morning I am flying to Catfoss on the east coast for the morning.

Dad sent me a card from Vancouver. I see that Canada won the World's ice hockey championship at Prague today.

My radio has a good program on it at present so I am staying in my room.

Mrs. Culbertson and I have not seen each other for some time now but I hope to soon.

This morning we had the sky completely overcast but at 2000 feet one got above it and the whole layer was as flat as a billiard table - very beautiful. This afternoon was fairly clear, foggy low down but at 10,000 feet one could see quite clearly down through it.

Wallace flew down to Church Fenton in the Hawker Hart today and Ryder and myself met him and escorted the Hart to C.F. with our Furies in tight formation.

We don't get the sunshine here but we certainly don't get the extreme temperatures that Canada does.

This morning we all took on ice at altitude but not seriously.

Love Bill
