Hello Darling
Well hows my little wife to-night [sic]? Gee I love you so much that don’t think I can wait for a furlough to see you again. Well darling I had a free evening to night [sic] so I went to the show and saw Best foot forward [sic] with Garry James and band. Its [sic] a good show but it made me kind of lonely, you know me and if you see it you’ll unterstand [sic]
[page 2]
why. Darling I wish I could hold you in my arms again like I did at the dance when I was home and by the way my folks don’t even know that we went almost to Boston. Gee I sit here and think of things like that and it make [sic] me want to see you all the more. Last night I had the funniest feeling it seem that you in’t love me any more [sic] and I just layed there in the bunk all alone and of oh I don’t know just how to put it but I had the sickest feeling
[page 3]
inside. It seemed that it just wasn’t worth living anymore but today I feel different because I got there wonderful letters from you and I know you must love me a little anyway. Well darling I can’t seem to find out any dope on the school in Maryland. You see we’re having a big shake-up [sic] and we’ll get all new officers and nobody knows nothing around here any more [sic]. Well darling [sic] I [sic] going to say good night [sic]
[page 4]
for now and until to-morrow I think of you all the time. I love you so very much and Please [sic] wait for me, always. Will be happy some day and until then I love you all my love
