Arnold's Story: July 9, 1944

Long Distance phone calls were quite expensive in the 1940s and remained so for decades, so letters were the more common means of communication. Hazel crossed off the street address of the letterhead, so I guess she is using some old stationery from before they moved to Mountain Street. 

Arnold finished his Army Air Forces communications training at Yale University, got commissioned as an officer, and headed to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for more instruction. At the time, the Army was obsessed with intelligence testing and Arnold was a very good test taker apparently.
