Roy expresses his "disappointment" at missing a meeting with Don, adding a poignant human layer to wartime service: "Dear Don well it was a quite a disappointment not seeing you. I sent directions. Did some thing hapen Don. Well Don wright and let me know. I got a letter from Morris was I ever glad. Hoping  to hear from you soon. Your old Pal Roy" Scene: Depicts the Russian Hill Skyline with a looming Mt. Tamalpais in the background and the San Francisco Bay in view.
