Hi Darling,
It’s just me again. The weather down here is lousey [sic] it’s even raining to-day [sic]. You know what darling I’m stepping out to-night [sic] to dinner, if you won’t mind. I was in the U.S.J. last week and I met a young married couple he was about 25 and she about 22 or twenty-three, and they asked me and my buddy Sandy (his real name is Ames. Sander) out to their house some day for dinner so we said that we would come. So last night I got back to the barracks and about nine o’clock I was called over to the office and sure enough it was them. So they asked us down for a fried chicken dinner. But if you don’t want me to go I won’t
[Page 2]
but by the time you get this letter it will be all over. If I forget to tell you the name of this couple the name was (Mr. & Mrs. Bill Taylor). they [sic] live on South 44th St. in Louisville. I’m afraid that I’ll be awful homesick when I get there though. I haven’t heard much about getting a furlough for christmas [sic]. I hope I can though. Darling I wish you would give me Norman Pronlci’s address if you can get it. I’d like to see how he doing [sic]. You know my father is in Norfork Na [Norfolk?]. Well darling [sic] that [sic] about all that’s new except that I love you more and more every day and I’ll never stop loving you. I love you. Love,
Howard
