Letter from Howard to Yvette, May 23, 1944

Military Life

He tried to go see the chaplain but the chaplain didn't show up to the appointment. He was a little down because he hasn't received any letters from his home lately. He still isn't finished with the letter to her father yet.

morrow [sic] somebody should write. I wrote to everybody last but maybe they’re to[o] busy too [sic].

I hope when we’re married I wont [sic] have to get up quite so early. As Ever
