Hi Angel:
How’s everything with you to-day [sic]? Here it is Saturday night and I’m all alone and haven’t got anyone to talk to ever. Gee I wish you were here. On second thought I don’t want you to come because I wouldn’t be able to spend anytime with you and I’d miss you more if you were only a few miles away and then couldn’t see you. Not that I could miss you more than I do now. Mike has gone to the station to meet Mary and he [will] be in town for the weekend and my boss left to-night for Iowa on a pass and won’t be back until Thursday morning. (I almost ran [out] of paper that time) and I have to keep the place going until then.
[Page 2]
Darling don’t ever think think that I don’t love you because I love you very much. I really mean it, darling when I say I love you more than anything in the world. Darling is it because I haven’t been home for so long that you think the love I have for you is cooling to this point of 0 degrees? If that is what you think you better change your thought because I love you so much that you couldn’t get rid of me now even if you wanted to because I’d sue you. Well I took all my winter uniforms to the cleaners to-day [sic] so I’ll be ready for a furlough if they decide to give me one but I won’t plan on it because every time I plan on something the plan backfire[s]. Honey there isn’t much news about this camp so I [will] close tonight and write a letter to my pop. I haven’t written to him for quite a while. All the letters I send are for the both but this one will be just for him. I know he likes it that way. I love you darling. Always loving
Howard.
