Dearest darling Yve.,
Well here I am back from my three days in the wilds of hollywood [sic]. I had a very good time but it was so lonely without you. Everything would of [sic] been perfect if you were here but you were’nt [sic] so you know how it is to go out and feel lonely all the time. Well darling I found all the places I wanted to see and now I guess I’ll stay in the barracks until I get a chance to go home. It’s really hard I’m kind of on a fence because I have’nt [sic] got enough points to be discharged and I got too many points to get on of those forty five day
[Page 2]
furlough [sic] that they are giving to the low point guys. I’m telling you I’m in quite a fix. I guess I’m a hopeless case. Do you still love me darling because I haven’t had a letter from you yet and it [sic] the last day of september [sic]. Gee its [sic] seem [sic] to take so long for a letter to come. Well Yve. I hope I hear from you soon because I’m so darn sick of this army. The way they treat us out here you might think we never had training at all and we got to start all over again. I love you so very very much my darling and Sweet, I’m so glad we were married. I love you I love you I love you most. As Ever,
Howard

P.S. I love you more than most
