Hello darling:
I haven’t heard from you for three days now are you mad? I’ve been out on a little camping trip as they say in civilian life and just got back. Darling you seem to think I don’t want you to go to the beach on your vacation but I do and what’s [sic] more I want you to have a good time. Well darling there’s nothing new down here except last night I saw Anita Louise at the Service Club and I don’t know, I don’t get a thrill out of meeting movie stars. She look[s] a lot better in the movies than she does in person. Darling your [sic] much prettier than she is even
[Page 2]
if I do say so my self [sic] and it[‘]s not just because I love you but because she couldn’t win a beauty contest in Stonebridge or any little town. Well I don’t think I’m getting my pass because
i’ve been put on a detail over the weekend and can’t get out of it. The inspecting officer just came in and asked me what I was doing and I told him I had to keep my wife’s morsal up and he just [illegible deletion] smiled and said OK [sic]. Well that[‘s] about all that[‘s] new around here so until I can find more to say I’ll say I love you and wait for me and have a good time on your vacation. Lot of love
Howard.

P.S. I love you.
