Hello darling, I wrote a letter to you last night on bivouac and I got back to day [sic] and couldn’t find it so I guess you have to go one day without a letter my intentions were good though. I got a nice long letter from you to-day [sic] that you wrote Sun. and I love you so much darling but I wish we could be to gether [sic] always then everything would be perfect. I got a letter from Evelyn + one from Barbara also to day [sic] and it must be good to be back in civillian [sic] life. I know I won’t be crazy enough
[Page 2]
to join any thing after I get out of this war unless I can stay with you. Darling I’m still waiting for a letter telling me when your [sic] coming so I can meet you at the train. I love you my beautiful wife and I want you so much. I got to go now but I’ll write to morrow [sic] and let me know. Your loving husband,
Howard
