Hello Darling,

Well how’s my little half-pint curly top to-night [sic]? Gee darling I love you so darn much that I can’t put in to [sic] word[s] how I feel. Darling will you forgive me for not writing last night because I was out all night fighting a fire that was started by the boys that were firing on the range. Well anyway darling it was a beautiful day today and I didn’t hardly do anything but that won’t last. To morrow [sic] we leave for bivouac and we don’t come back until Saturday.
