Hello darling:
Well here it is: almost the end of the month again and I’m not home yet. I got the box of candy and also the writing paper and thanks a lot. I’m trying very hard to get a furlough but I don’t seem to be getting any where [sic], but you can never tell. I lost my teeth again. I went to the dentist and he said he would have to take them and make me a new set so I don’t know when I get the new ones, poor little me. Ah well I told the first Sgt. [Sergeant] that I [would] go home with or without teeth so he better dig me up a furlough. I think maybe I will get it pretty soon, I hope
[Page 2]
so any way [sic]. Well what[‘]s new in town? Has Lil had any new additions to her family yet? And you, how are you? How’s your grandmother? Darling I started to write you a letter last night at nine o’clock. Well about five minutes after I started writing a all came to come and tow in a truck that was stuck. Well I got in bed at one thirty. That[‘s] why I didn’t write. Gee darling I love you, and I sure would like to see you. It seems like years since I’ve been home. By the way, darling, I think that birthday present can be arranged if you want it. I’ve been going to the other doc. for treatments on a sore foot. Nothing very serious but it didn’t feel so good. I guess that [is] all I can say except I love you and want you darling more than anything in the world. I love you.
Howard.
