Dear Yvette;
I just got another letter from you to-day [sic] and yes darling I can read that french that you wrote and I love you to [sic]. Darling I don’t think I’ll send you any money this pay day because I’m trying for a furlough and just in case it comes the last of next month I’ll be able to come home. Now I’m not saying that I’ll get a furlough so don’t plan to [sic] much for it. I told them I wanted to be home for Easter. Gee I wish I knew when I could go home. You see I haven’t heard from my folks
[Page 2]
for over two weeks and I haven’t heard how my brother is. I wish they would write. Well they got rumors around that we got another 900 W.A.A.C’s [Women’s Auxiliary Army Corp.] coming to this camp. Darling but you don’t have to worry, from what I’ve seen of them I wouldn’t even want to look at them. There [sic] all old around 30 to 45 and if I’m looking for a mother I got one at home. Well darling I love and I wish I were there but there’s a war going on and I’m beginning to feel it. Love, your husband to be (I hope).
Howard.
