Camp Campbell, Ky. [Kentucky]
Jan. 10, 1944
Hello Darling,
Gee darling I miss you so much and I’ve only been away two days. If you only knew how I felt when I left you at the station although I did have a pretty good trip. I didn’t have to change at Springfeild [sic] as they said I would. I stayed on that same train all the way to cleveland with out [sic] getting off and when I got to cleveland. All I had was ten minutes to make Louisville train so I didn’t waste any time. Well I got into camp this morning
[page 2]
just one half hour before I had to go to work at five thirty to be exact and that [sic] make me one of the tiredest fellows in the camp but I’d go right back again and do it over if I could. Well darling this is going to be a very short letter on account of me not being in a bed since I got up saturday [sic] morning and darling I still love you and I wish this - war was over so we could live. I love you darling and goodnight. Write me huh darling! [illegible deletion] As Ever
