Hello [D]arling:
I bet you can’t guess what this is. I give you these guesses and the first one will be right. Hows [sic] beautiful little lady to day [sic]? Yes I mean you. You know [D]arling that you can eat all the cheese you want but I still won’t eat any. I haven’t eaten any thing [sic] with cheese since I [have] been in the army. Well [H]oney how are you getting along with
[Page 2]
out [sic] me these days? They boys all laugh at me because when I get in the barracks every night I take your picture out of my locker and look at it. Gee I wish I could see you to night [sic]. [Y]ou don’t know how lonesome I get here all alone with nobody to tell my troubles to. Darling I love you and I need you more than you know. I hope the war will be over soon so we can get married and have a little home of our own, but until then I’ll have to keep dreaming. Love
Howard
