Hi Woman of my dream [sic],
Gee I love you so. I just can’t live without you anymore. I’m just a home guy I guess. I don’t think I’ll even get a furlough but I got a chance to go to town to morrow [sic] so if I see something for you I’ll get it. Gee darling I so very much in love that I guess you’ll think I’m crazy when I keep saying I love you. The town that I’m going to is called Santa Barbara, and it look [sic] like a nice place but not like South bridge [sic] of course. I have’nt [sic] been there yet I just rode through
[Page 2]
the place on the train coming out here. Tony [Siragusa?] is getting his discharge in november [sic] and Moll is getting his in October and me I might get one around Christmas but Sometimes [sic] I wonder. You can’t live around here with Tony though. He says he’s not going to do anything until Nov. 1st, and I don’t think he will. Well gee darling I’m [running?] out of ink so I’ll have to quit I’ll write to morrow [sic] when I get some ink. I love you darling and need you so very much. All my love,
Howard

P.S. I love you with all of me
