Dearest Yve.,
Well darling its [sic] me again and I’m still alive. I’ve been on a driving detail for the last four days and really didn’t have time to sleep never mind write but now I got time. It was really a rough trip to [sic] because we drove about 18 out of the 24 hours of the day then we slept the rest of the time. Well by now Pauline must be off with Norman on her honeymoon. Gee I wish I was home. Darling where will we go when I get home?
[Page 2]
It’ll probably be around the last of Aug. or the first of Sept but it ought to be nice weather. Well anyway you decide what we’re going to do and we’ll do it. But there [sic] one thing you can’t do and that’s give fifty lesson a week and I mean it. You know I’m getting to sound like a boss I even supprise [sic] myself sometime [sic]. Darling if you have’nt [sic] received a card don’t send anymore packages to me over here because in a few weeks they will be returned and thats [sic] no good. Darling I’m sending this money order and
[Page 3]
when I get home I want to see a nice filmsy nightgown and then you won’t have to wear the one with the hole in. No kidding darling buy what you want with it. I love you so very much you could wear anything and I’d like it. I got to close nw but darling I love you so very very much and want you more than anything in the world. I need you darling. Your worse half,
Howard
