Dearest Wife,
Well it [sic] me again and I got an other [sic] nice letter from you to day [sic] and with those two picture[s] that I wanted that the girls took of you of the beach and that cartoon of the guy walking the floor with the baby. I’d even walk the floor if they let me out of this place. Gee I love you so very very much and I want you. Well not much happened to day [sic] and to morrow [sic] don’t look like there’s going to be any change and by the way darling I could break Norman neck for saying all those nice things about
[Page 2]
Camp Cooke. I think it [sic] the worse camp yet and the towns are worse than the ones around Campbell and that going some. I have time but they just ain’t worth going to. I got that clipping where Bette Davis was out to camp but if she was I never saw her or it was before I came here, but I did see her in the Hollywood canteen and a few others but old women don’t intrest [sic] me at all. The only one that intrests [sic] me is a little 98 pound gall the staying at 47 Winter street and I don’t mean your sister although she’s very nice too but youer [sic] nicer.
[Page 3]
Well darling I wish I could go home but that’s not posible [sic] so I’ll just keep on writing and I can’t say anymore than I love you love you so much that it hurts. Gee I love you so very much my darling I want you so. As Ever.
Howard
