Hi Darling
How do you like Detroit? I’m glad you got my letter I was a little worried that you wouldn’t get it in time. I just got some bad news Sat. The First Sarg. said that it will be another month before we get furlough maybe. Gee I wish they could make up their minds. Hope you are having a good time out there and I wish I was there too but you can’t have everything. I got to go out on the gun range for the next five days so the letters will be very few but I write as often as I can. I wish this (damn) war was over (pardon my english) but that how I feel about it. Gee darling I love you and when you get back to Southbridge I try to go home and we’ll share a time that we both won’t forget. Well darling I will

to leave you now for I’ve got to clean guns and they want them right away. So long. Love
