Sept. [September] 8, 1943
Dear Yve:
Well how are you to-day [sic]? I’m feeling OK [sic] but I got C.Q. [Charge of Quarters] to day [sic] and anything I hate more is to be charge of quarters. First I want to thank you for that box of candy bars you sent me and I do like those carmels [sic]. Gee darling I wish I could see you. I’m getting so lonesome without you it seems like years since I’ve been home and I love you so much. Well anyway darling the war news is a little better to-day [sic] which you probably

already know. I wish that the army would finish off Germany as fast as they did Italy. May be [sic] they would let me go home around Christmas. Well I’m in the first Sgt.’s office and the co-commander is sitting right next to me and we’re both writing to our girl friends [sic] or suppose to be our girl friends [sic] any way. Darling I wish we got married while I was home. I love you so much that I’d do any-thing [sic] in the world

[Page 3]

for you. You know what darling this Lt. Manguire sits here and writes. Every once and awhile he starts to smile. I asked him what he is smiling about and he says he’s just thinking. Well darling I’m going to close now because I got [sic] to call lights out. Gee darling I love you and I’ll write to morrow [sic] and will you marry me? I love you.

Howard.
