Hello darling,
Glad to hear the good news about your sister and Norman and if we don’t hurry up they will beat us yet. But I doubt it very much. Well here it is my birthday and you know I don’t even feel any older. There’s another fellow in the company and his birthday is to day [sic] so we both went to the show to night and its [sic] a swell picture the name was The Iron Major. You ought to see
[page 2]
it in it you’ll see places like Holy Cross and Oh well it [sic] a story of up around Mass [Massachusetts]. Yve. You know my cousin Charles from Worcester well he shipped over seas so my mother writes and she [sic] my mother I mean, sent me a nice card with some money. I’ve had a swell birthday this year but there was only one thing wrong I couldn’t be home with you. You said in your letter that I’d have to give you at least a month notice before
[page 3]
I come home to get married didn’t you. Well I know that but if there [sic] going to give me a furlough they give me about three days notice and it will be impossible so how we’ll work it I don’t know? Tell me will you? I got to close now and get some beauty sleep so keep the home fires burning for me darling and keep loving me. I love you so much so darn much it makes me mad when I can’t be with you. Lot of Love
