Dearest Wife + ?,
Well here I am again and still in the army. I think I have some good news so here goes. By the time you get this letter don’t write anymore letters because in a couple of days from now I might be at Fort McArthur being processed for discharged and I wouldn’t be getting your letters, but if anything comes up and I don’t go I’ll send you a telagram [sic]. That is if I don’t move out of here for discharge. My sprained ankle feel pretty good now and I’m pretty happy about the whole thing. As thing stand now I should be going to Fort McArthur around friday thats [sic] why I’m writing to night [sic]
[Page 2]
telling you not to write because you won’t get this until then and if I go your letters won’t reach me because I won’t stay at McArthur more than three or four days then I’m coming home. It nice don’t you think? Of course darling I’ll still write to you and let you know all the little things that happen to me. Gee I love you so very very much and I can’t wait until I get home. Jim White is going for his discharge to morrow [sic] he got 53 point that because he married the red head and she has a kid which gave him 12 more points. All the old boys are leaving this outfit. I hardly know any of the guys around here because they are all new guys with very little time in the army. Gee darling I want you so
[Page 3]
[illegible deletion] very much and I can hardly wait until I get out but it don’t seem so long to wait now. I love you and darling it won’t be long be fore [sic] I’ll be able to hold you in my arm again and tell you I love you Yve and then you’ll know how I feel. I love you and [illegible deletion] need you so much darling and I’m so glad you said yes on the 13th day of June 1944. I love you very much darling and Keep the home fires burning for me.. I love you. As Ever. your worst half.
Howard
