Dear Mother
I got here alright about 10 o’clock last night. That fella that picked me up was going to Ypsilanti. He works in the bomber plant. He let me off at Brighten and I caught two more rides to get to here. The fella that works in the bomber plant said that it is so far to go from one end of the plant to the other so they ride bikes. Well I can’t think of much to say right now so I will close.
I am welding in the motor building now. I can see them working on the production lines making motors etc. Well I am closing now so
With Love
Erwin Holmquist
Note: Ford’s Willow Run B-24 Bomber plant was located in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
