Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Alldredge re

The letter follows:
Buffalo. N. Y. Sept. 15, 1918
"Dear Folks:
"Well, I am at Buffalo, and as you
will recall it was Just about a year
ago that I passed through here once
before.
"I.ast night 1 spent in New York
City, and came down here today over
the D. L. & W. R. R., and was certain
ly a very enjoyable trip. Tomorrow
1 expect to go out to Fredonia.
You cannot Imagine how it makes
one feel to be a graduate from an avi
ation school. It means a great deal
to one, and you know thr.t only flying
ing Iks ahead of you. About the hard
est pr.rt so I understand, is the ground
school work. There is so much aca
demic work attached to it that you
have to have a capacity like a sponge
to get it In the short space of time
allowed you.
"To learn to fly a machine would
be a simple matter, but that Is the
smallest part of the work, as we get
it. To be a pilot equipped to take
care of yourself on a modern battle
front, and to be able to help guide
and direct your own troops, etc.,
means a whole lot more than merely
knowing how to run an aeroplane.
Some fellows when they get so they
can handle a plane in the air, claim
to lie flyers. Well, I guess they are
in a way, but they are a long way from
being a pilot capable of taking care
of himself on a battle field in Europe.
"Wish you could have seen our
class last Friday when we found out
those that graduated. We were not
an overly large class, but we made old
historic Princeton sit up and take
notice. At parade in the evening the
major gave us a nice talk, congratu
lating us on having passed the diffi
cult course, etc., and then presenting
us with our diplomas. That certain
ly was one of the happiest hours in
my life. Then the next of the com
mand was reviewed by us.
"When I first came to Prlnceon and
learned that It was one of tb?e most
difficult ground schools to get thru,
my heart almost sank within me, but
what others had.done, I knew was not
impossible, so I 'buckled' Into the
work and now you know the result.
Nothing like It, but it has been worth
the effort.
"I am on a short furlough now, and
have to report back to Princeton for
further orders In a few days. Where
I go from there, I do not know.
