Dearest Yve,
What’s the matter darling not letter today, don’t you still love me? I love you so much and I expected the letter so much and when it didn’t come, well I got kinda disappointed. I wish you were here with me to-night [sic] darling I’m so darn lonely. Well I’m all over being sick and once again I feel swell again. Darling did I ever tell you you [are] sweet beautiful and wonderful. Well I mean every word of it and darling I love you so very much.
[Page 2]
Well this has got to be a short note because I got to get up at 4:15 to morrow [sic] and go out on the range but I’ll keep writing every day until I get a letter. You know darling married life agrees with me don’t you think? Well good night for now. I love you mummy and write me a letter. Love,
Howard
