INTERESTING
LETTER FROM
WALLACE HIGGINS

A personal letter to the editor and
his wife from Wallace higgins, who
S with the United States navy Naval
Aviation Detachment at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, is
SO full of interest that we pass it on
for the enjoyment of his many Lake
and friends:
Boston, Mass, April 81, 1918.
Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Hetherington:
Every time l get Lakeland paper
and that is once day now l am re-
minded of the fact that / am due you
a whole lot of thanks. I should have
written you long time ago but you
see we boys here are about as busy
as good newspaper man and we
don't have any time that we can call
our own except Sundays and we are
all learning to appreciate that one
day in seven more than ever before.
1t is certainly pleasure to be able
to open the paper every afternoon and
be with the folks back home for few
minutes. We have just little while
between our last drill and the even
ing meal and that is my time for read
ing the paper. Everything in it looks
good, too. Some of the boys are lucky
enough to be stationed in the south
where occasionally somebody from
home drops in but as for that | might
as we'll be in France as up here. Once
in while l see mans name in the
paper as being in Lakeland and from
Boston and he is a long way from
home, too.
The school here is certainly good
though. We are stationed right in
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, commonly known as Boston
Tech All over the country and for
us they have certainly worked out
grueling course. 1t combines most ev-
erything from a full course in wire
less telegraphy to being a first class
officer and they give us just ten
weeks to get it in. The work Is very
hard. We have early and late hours
but we have good food and accommo-
dations. And we get liberty from Sat
urday at noon until ten o'cloc Sun
day night, which is duely appreciated.
| guess there are about 900 here now
and all aviators. Every two weeks
about hundred are sent to different
camps and new ones take their places.
And most all of them go either to Key
West, Miami or Pensacola. I'll be
glad when my time comes seven
weeks from now.
Thanking you again for the paper,
wish to remain,
Your friend
