He tells her he loves her. He went to the hospital but didn't have a good experience. He was upset because he hadn't received any letters lately.

Dearest darling,

Did I ever tell you how much I love you? Well I love you so much that even if I had a hundred years to tell you how much I love you I would be just begining [sic]. I went to the hospital and had the needle to day [sic] as they say in the army. When they had the needle in I told the nurse not to take too much because I was only a little boy and I couldn’t spare much. She then told me if I didn’t stop


[Page 2]


bothering her she would put a needle in my other arm and drain me dry, nice people we got in the army huh! I didn’t get any letters the last couple of days and Kalas [?] was saying that you didn’t love me anymore but I know better. Well darling I wish I could see you but I guess I’ll still have to wait and maybe the days will go fast. I love you and I always will. As Ever, Your husband (to be)


Howard
