Dear Yve (you little mushy mush)
Well when you get this letter you’ll know I skipped a day writing to you which was my fault because last night I had to go out on a night combat course and didn’t get back until after twelve last night and it was cold. This morning it was around ten above zero. And then this morning we had to get up at five this morning and spend the day in a nice cold feild [sic]. It all adds up to this I made the expert infantry course so now I’m an expert in infantry man which means an extra five dollars a month. But in doing this I got a little head cold but that [sic] nothing to me I’m used to things like
[Page 2]
that. Darling I’ve decided to let you come down and about that room I don’t remember the number it 219 something but I’m not sure. And when you do come bring those red flannels because it [sic] quite cold down here. (P.S I love you with all the fixings) I was going to go see Ray tonight but I’m really too tired but maybe tomorrow. Darling I don’t know about any 616 films but if I do come across any I’ll get them. I love you so very very much and I could go for some of that necking to night [sic] but you’d probably catch my cold and it wouldn’t work so good. I got to close now and get some sleep but remember darling. I love you more and more every day. As Ever
