Hi Darling
How is every body [sic] and everything back home and do you still miss me? Well I feel a lot better now and I think I love you more. I went to the show last night after I wrote you the letter and it was good, you ought to see it. The name is “Life [B]egins at [E]ight-[T]hirty.” In the picture I felt sorry for the girl. [Y]ou will
[Page 2]
have to see it to know what I mean. Darling will you send me Norman Prouley’s address because I lost it in all this moving that we’re doing down here. Gee its [sic] been raining down here since the day before Christmas and I’m no duck. Will you marry me [D]arling? I love you. They took away all my lockers so I have to wear my watch so nobody will steal it. I’m glad you like the ring. [F]or a
[Page 3]
moment I thought you wouldn’t but I guess I’ll never be able to under stand [sic] women. Well [D]arling It’s no use of talking about another furlough right away but I hope my brother gets one. Well [D]arling you know how much I like to see you but that’s out of the question. Well When your name is Mrs. Howard Sarty I’ll be with you all the time. I love you and keep praying that the war is over soon. Lots of love. Your future husband
Howard
P.S. I love you
