Yvette dearest;

I always address my envelopes first and when I started addressing your[s] I had Mrs. written so I had to start over again. That makes three times I [have] written Mrs. instead of Miss in the last two weeks. Well darling nothing new has happened to day [sic] just my usual trip to town and of course I had to see a training film to-night [sic] and after that I ironed two shirts and one pair of pants and two neckties and now I[‘m] trying to write you a

letter. Darling I wish I could see you to night [sic] because I got a little headache and when I used to have a headach[e] back home it would be gone when I was with you. And its [sic] not only for that reason that I want to see you. I love you darling even if you don’t know it. I love you so much that I can’t think of anything else but you. Ted said I was talking about you in my sleep last night but he won’t say what I said so I guess we’ll never know. Well darling I[‘m] going to bed now and see if I can get rid of this headache, I love you with all my heart. As Ever


Howard
