Hello darling:
Well here I am again after a good day [of] work. I just shaved and had a shower and feel like going out and raise [sic] ---- [intentional blank in place of “hell”] but it will have to wait seeing it[‘]s too late. I probably wouldn’t go anyway even if I could. Well darling when are you going on your vacation? I sure would like to go with you but I guess that[‘s] out of the question, but what would I do if I came home the day after you left? That would be terrible and things like that can happen but I doubt it. I guess you won’t be seeing Norman for a little while
[Page 2]
if they shipped him to far because it[‘]s a long ways from home. Gee I wish this darn war was over. I’m getting so sick of being so far away from you that it seem[s] I’ll go nuts. I’d give a million to go swimming, dancing and everything else with you for at least one week. Well darling I got a little work to do before I go to bed so if you don’t mind I’ll do it. I love you and always will. Lot of love
Howard.
[The following was written as a postscript.]
P.S. I love you more every day.
