Dearest darling wife,

Darling if you want to know anything about me or what [is] going on just ask your dad. Remember that article he had you read, well thats [sic] true. You want to know what I do every day well I’ll tell you. Its [sic] like this I do as little as possible but that [is] too much so I just do half that much so don’t worry I don’t over work. Gee darling how do you dream up all those dreams you have? All the [ones?] I have are good

Anyways this war can’t last forever and when it ends [that’ll] be the day, and you had better have a nice soft bed and the bath drawn raddy [sic] for me be cause [sic] you’ll probably not see me for a couple of days until I get clean. I wish I could be home now I even let you call me all those names like you mention in your letters and I would say anything. I love you so darn much darling that I can’t get home soon enough. I love you more ?!, [sic] you know what I mean. Your loving husband,
Howard
