Darling
How are you? You know I hope that Lil is as happy as you think she is but to tell you the truth I don’t think it[‘]s going to last too long. The first fight is going to come and they are both bull headed and neither one of them will give in. Well any way [sic] our apartment is going to be better than her’s and we’ll be happier tha[n] they are. I’m sorry to hear that you did’nt [sic] get the job to play the organ but you have got pleanty [sic] of work to do now. Honey I would like to see you every morning when I get up you don’t know how boring it get[s] to look at a bunch of boys all the time. Well darling I hope the war ends pretty soon because I’m sick of the army.
[Page 2]
I made Pvt. first class to-day [sic] but that nothing but 4 dollars more a month and one of these things on your arm [Includes sketch of Private first class ranking]. All the boys down here send there love. They all grabed [sic] the pictures out of my hand one night and fell in love with you aint [sic] that something. I met a fellow the other day and he comes from Gardner and he knows (Robert) your cousin. [H]e went to the same college with him. [illegible deletion] [H]e was a year ahead of Robert and he used to play basket ball [sic] and he said that at one of the games he played he met a couple of girls that came from Southbridge to see Robert play. [Y]ou see he knew Robert. Well darling I still love you as much as ever and more. Love
