Hi Yve:
Just got another letter from you to-day [sic] and am feeling on top of the world. Gee it must be swell to be able to go swimming when you want to. I’ll have to wait until I get home before I get in the water. The only water I get in is in the showers and when we have to cross rivers and get pushed in and that don’t [sic] happen very often. Well the Capt. [Captain] will read the articles of war to us to-night [sic]. In them they can put you in the guard house for looking cross eyed. It’s the law of the army that the Company Commander reads them to his men every six months so in case you do something wrong you can’t say I never head of the articles of war.
[Page 2]
Gee darling I hope I can get home this summer. I want to see you so much and another thing, all work no play makes Howard a dull guy. Well darling the mater officer just came in and gave me a lot of work to do to-night [sic] so I have to close now, but if it isn’t to[o] late when I finish I [will] write you some more. I love you darling and always will, so until I get home will you wait? Love
Howard.
[The following was written as a postscript.]
P.S. I love you.
