Darling Yve,
I love you. I just came from the movies and saw a nice picture the name of it was (They All Kiss the Bride) and it’s good. Well this afternoon we all went out and took some pictures of ourselfs [sic]. I mean my buddy and me, to see if we could do better than last time. I don’t think they will be though. We walked all over the post and saw every thing that is worth seeing. Dal Darling I wish you were here so I could see you once in a while [sic]. [I]t gets awful lonesome with out [sic] you. I don’t think that I could stand it to see you down here and then have you leave. It would make it all the worse.
[Page 2]
I tried to get you a room at the guest house but you would have to wait a bout [sic] 5 weeks and then it would be to [sic] late. I would be able to get a leave soon after that and then again we might not be down here in an other [sic] five weeks. Don't forget darling what I said about Christmas. Darling, Sweet what do you want for your birthday. I wish you would let me know because I can’t very well know if you don’t tell me. Rember [sic] darling I am about a thousand miles away from you and a thousand miles never seem as far as it does now. And an other [sic] thing darling make me some more brownies because I love them but I sure love you all more. Will you all be as happy as I will when the war is over and I can go back to that little old town named Southbridge. I am telling you if I ever get back there I will never leave it and I never will leave you again ever. I love you darling. Nobody could love you as much as I do. I love you Yve. Love
