Hello darling,
Gee I’m lonesome to-night [sic]. I just got back from the doctor and I got to report back to him in the morning. He gave me a quick check over and didn’t seem satisfied so I guess I’ll have to go. Nothing serious though. Well darling will you marry me before the war is over or do I still have to wait? I sure wish I could see you again. It seem[s] like years that since the last time I was with you and gee I miss you so much. Darling what makes a guy fall in love? Will you tell me? I’m so much in love with you that I go around here
[Page 2]
like a man with out [sic] a country. Last night Mike came in late to ask me what they were supposed to do, and he said I was talking in my sleep about you. I hope that it was what I was dreaming. He couldn’t tell me what I said, though. Oh well I guess I must be in love to even talk about you in my sleep. We even have arguments about who is the prettiest and I all ways [sic] win. When are you coming down to visit me or do you want me to go up to see you first? I went to the show Sunday and saw (This Land is Mine) [sic]. Very good acting but kind of sad. Oh well I guess I better go to bed now or I’ll never get any sleep. They say you can live on love but I say you can’t when your [sic] this far away from it. I told Mike that if I was home I could live nicely on love. He said, “Marry the girl.” I told him I would. I love you more than you’ll ever know. As ever
Howard.
