Dear Yvette,
Well as usual I’ve been out in the field to day [sic] doing a lot of dry-running and I was thinking of you all day. I kind of follow [ed] you on your trip all day to day. [sic] At six o’clock this morning I thought of you in Cleveland and at around ten in Buffalo, NY. and about four in Albany N.Y. am I any where [sic] near right. Well Ray finally came wandering home to the barracks last night with a long sad face so we were two of a kind. Darling I hope you will take it easy for a while when you do get home
[Page 2]
and while you were here I had a real wonderful time infact [sic] the best time I ever had even if I had to get up at four in the morning and not getting home until lat [e] after supper but darling I love you so much that it was really a pleasure. I wish you were still here. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night reaching for you but you weren’t there and it was and it was then that I realized that you were on your way home and you don’t know how I felt. But I guess I can stand it until I get a furlough. Well I guess I’ll have to say good night [sic] now and I [‘ll] write to morrow. [sic] I love you with all of me. As ever,
Howard

P.S. I love you more.
