[Side 1:]
[Speaker 1:] Hello Julie. The Pepsi-Cola Company is happy to bring you the voice of Walter, speaking to you from the show in Washington. [skip]

[Walter Eddy:] Hi honey. I couldn't... They cut out that 3 day pass honey but I did get a pass to come to Washington. I'm here at this show where they have complete display of all types of foreign aircraft which has been shot from the sky. They also sell bonds here. I bought a $50 bond and I won a chance to hop on one of those Link trainers that they train the pilots with... I had a swell time. Going to go back to Washington now and see what it's like there. Haven't been here in so long I've forgotten what it looks like. Don't know what I will do tomorrow yet. I think I'll take in some of the beautiful buildings they have here and sights and so forth. I don't know when I'll get a chance to get home but probably will be around the 15th of September if I decide to spread the weekend pass a little. How's everything at home? Write more often if you can. I haven't got much more time now on this record so I'll just say good night. I wish you were here with me. Good night.
