Hi my little darling,
I love you so much to night [sic] that I could squeeze you to peices [sic] but my arms won’t reach across the ocean. No kidding darling I could just about eat you up. To day [sic] is sunday [sic] and it seems I miss twice as much. I went to church this morning and I couldn’t get my mind off of you. I guess it must be true love. Well [Mushy?] about those camels that Tommy wrote Jack about are real ones. It seem [sic] that the germans [sic] brought them back from Russia and some of them ended
[Page 2]
up in southern germany [sic] but as far as Tommy sending Jack camels cigaretts [sic] well the only camels that we see are the ones that walk around on four legs. Darling when you wrote in the letters that I went throu [sic] a lot of countries you forgot to mention Holland. You know I wouldn’t go right by a dutch [sic] country and not stop in. I’ll tell you about my big trip through germany [sic] one of these day [sic] and all the trouble I had but not to-night [sic] darling. I love you so much and honest darling I feel so mushy mush now I could eat you up. Your nutty husband,
Howard
[The following is written as a postscript.]
P.S. I love you more everyday.
