Hi Sugar
How ar [sic] you all? I hope you still love me a little. Gee I wish I could see you just for a little while. Well we just had a bottle of beer. Ted went to the Post Exchange and [illegible] it and you know your [sic] not supposed to take it out but he put it under his jacket and here we are drinking a beer and eating some potatoe [sic] chips. We do crazy things
[page 2]
like that sometimes, You know when you get tired and haven’t the ambition to even lie down and go to sleep, You see we were on the range since 5 o’clock this morning and we didn’t get in until eight to night [sic]. I got a nice package from my Mom [sic] and so I had the a.o. news to read to [sic] but that isn’t like being back home. It look [sic] like I’ll spend Thanks giving [sic]day in the army this year again of course I expected it so I don’t feel too
[page 3]
bad about it. If I had planed [sic] on going home I would of been feeling let down. Well darling I can’t think of much more to say to night [sic] except I love you like no body [sic] else could and I wish I was home so we could get married. I’ll have to leave you now so keep thinking of me and I’ll have a nice dream of you to night [sic] and probably wake up [illegible deletion] about in the middle [illegible deletion] because we leave for the range at five. I love you and always will and until my next furlough I remain your husband to be (I hope) but if you don’t change your mind.
