Darling I expected justs what you told me about crying and I knew how you felt because I feel the same when I can’t be with you. And darling I had a feeling that I’d get a letter to day [sic] telling me you went
[Page 2]
to see the doctor and I knew just what he’d say. Gee darling its [sic] too bad you’ve got such a green husband that don’t or doesn’t know anything.
