Dearest darling wife,
Well it [sic] me again and I’m still a little sleepy. Gee what I wouldn’t give for a nice warm bed and spend about twenty four hours in it. As you know by now we are now in the 7th army and it wasn’t so long ago we crossed the Danube and when they wrote the music Blue Danube they must of [sic] been as color blind as I am because it [sic] not blue at all take it from me I know. Yve., will you give me your future brother in law [sic] address [illegible] so I can look him up
[Page 2]
if I ever get a chance. I don’t think I’m very far from him. Well darling what’s new back home? Warren wrote and said you couldn’t do much on account of the twelve o’clock deal. It [sic] just like him thou [sic]. I know I could find a lot to do before twelve couldn’t you? or we? Darling I’m still ok and I guess I’ll be that way for quite a while. I hope. I miss you so darn much darling and I do wish I could see you but it don’t look so good right now. I’m going to try to catch up on some sleep now so to morrow [sic] I’ll write more. I love you darling very much and I wish I could be with you. As Ever,
Howard
