I'm sending this letter for two reasons, one of which is to let you know about my change of address. •The new base, or should I say location, is Eastern India air depot, located about 100 miles northwest of Calcutta, an4 is largely a wilderness and spread over about a ten mile area. The main job is to get rid of excess aircraft in the whole theatre combat and otherwise, and it is no small job with about 1,000 planes to take care of. A fairly large part of the job is done but a hard part still remains. The uprisings in Calcutta and the vicinity have not been too serious but they have destroyed some U. S. government property, namely, a number of trucks. Enough about Panagaile. The second purpose of this letter is to extend Christmas and New Years greetings to all my friends in McHenry.
