Hello darling:
Well another day is gone and I still love you very much. How about you? There was nothing new happening to day [sic] around here. Nothing ever does. Darling how’s your grandmother to day [sic]? Is she home from the hospital yet? What’s new in town? I haven’t been there for so long I wouldn’t even remember what the place look[s] like. Darling did you go to the Easter Monday dance? If so write me about it. What band did they have and who was there? I haven’t heard any thing [sic] from home for about two weeks so I don’t know how Phil is coming
[Page 2]
along and I haven’t been able to go an[d] see Bill, but I guess he can take care of himself. Darling I guess I’m very lucky to be on the side of the pond and not over in Europe. The company commander told us to-night [sic] that we all might be over there before the end of the year. There [sic] going to have a regt. [regiment] dance at the field house and all W.A.A.C. [Women’s Auxiliary Corp] are invited. Besides 100 girls from Nashville the only trouble is I[‘m] on duty the night of the dance. Don’t worry darling I wouldn't go any how. I wouldn’t want to go and be wall-flower because the odd[s] will be about ten to one. I mean guys to one girl. Darling I miss you so much! When is this slow war going to be over? I love you so much that I got to get home soon. Lot of love
Howard.
[The following was included as a postscript.]
P.S. I love you. [over on top of first page the phrase continues] I love you every day of the week except for Sunday and then I [have] got love and a half for you. Some english huh?
