She mentions difficulty of obtaining different items. Husband Ray is to be sent to Fort Sill for Survey schooling in Oklahoma for one month in July. In June 21st letter, the camp had an unidentified plane alert. The response was extremely unsuccessful. Only four planes got into the air, one with a nonfunctioning radio.
