Monday,
Dearest darling Wife,
I’m so very happy an[d] lonely at the same time to night [sic] if anyone can be that way and I am so. Its [sic] because I got four beautiful letters from you to day [sic] and of course that made me want you all the more. I’m sorry darling you can’t come out here but I tried all the places around here and there’s not a room around here worth staying in infack [sic] there’s no room at all but I’ve tried. I would like to see
[Page 2]
you so much but I can’t so I guess that’s that. Gee hon I’d give a million to be with you to night [sic] and by the way what do you mean when you say you don’t know about junior if anybody does you should but if not I guess we’ll have to try again. Gee I love you so very much and I’d even try now, as if you could or would stop me. Well my darling I didn’t do any thing [sic] but gold-brick to day [sic] and I don’t intend to do very much. You know you said something about appartments [sic] so if you ever see anything you’d like don’t be afraid to take it
[Page 3]
because even though we have to pay the rent to the first of the year with out [sic] living in it will come in handy if I get out of the army in december [sic] or January. I only hope the rumor around here is true that we’ll get out before christmas [sic] so you see why I say to take an appartment [sic] if you can get one. Gee it would be swell if we could start the New Year in our own home wouldn’t it darling. Gee darling these are going to be the longest months I ever spent in the army. I love you so very very much and I love you more than anything in the world I want you so much my little
[Page 4]
fifty-fifty and I must say good night [sic] for now and I hope the letters keep coming. I love you darling and always will. As Ever.
Howard
