Page 1: 1943 February 18 Postcard mailed from Miami, Fla. to Mrs. F. R. Kemmer, 93 Echo Lane, Larchmont, N.Y. “Hello - Arrived in the fabulous city this morning after 2 days and nights in a Pullman. Quite a group from Upton. Don’t know how I landed in the Air Corps; the Army moves in mysterious ways. I didn’t get what mail you might have sent to Upton. I imagine I’ll be here for some time for basic training, although I don’t know. Evidently this is preparation for ground war. Now we are sleeping in a luxurious hotel called (in civilian days) the Sea Isle. All this is rather a shock to me having never been south of Gettysburg, Pa. Love, Joe”
