Dear Yvette,
Well its [sic] blue Tuesday again and no letter to-day [sic] but I got to morrow [sic] to look forward to, I [am] pretty sure of getting one then. Darling I love you and every day brings us nearer to being to gether [sic] and the end of the war to [sic]. I’m going to town the next time I can get off and look up a nice room for you to stay but I won’t promise that I’ll be able to go in every night because we might be in the field a couple of those nights but I can stand it I guess. Well darling the heat is terrible down here to-night [sic] you
[Page 2]
lie down and its [sic] so hot you get wet all over but you like hot weather so it will agree with you. Gee darling I wish you were here to night. [sic] I feel like taking you in my arms and squeezing you until you can’t breathe but I guess I’ll have to save all that energy until you get here. I love you so much darling. Good night darling and I’ll always love you. As ever,
Howard

P.S. I love you more.
