Hi darling,
I know its [sic] kind of late but at five o’clock I was told to get ready for a bivouac and here I am at the bivouac area now and with my trusty pen and flash light [sic] I’m trying to write this letter. Gee darling I love you I miss you and I wish this ____ war would end soon so I could be home, but I guess they won’t do everything I wish. About you wearing shoes in this country when you come by all [sic]
[Page 2]
mean bring you shoes. Do you want people to think I won’t let you have any shoes? And as for the weather its [sic] always warm here but some day[s] are warmer than others so you can be safe and travel light. Well darling I got to go now because we got a night problem and we got to be black-out that means no lights so I’ll write to morrow. [sic] I love you darling and always will. As ever,
Howard

P.S. I love you more.
