Dear love
Well its [sic] me again and [I’m] just about the same as ever. I’m pretty sure that I’ll be home next sunday [sic] night if nothing happens, but they could postpone it til after pay day which comes tuesday [sic] but Id [sic] miss ten days to go home. I’m ready to leave now. My mom writes that Bill never hears from me so I guess I’ll have to write to him when I get home and see it if makes a difference. Its funny though I write about every two weeks to him and he never answers. I can’t figure it out. Well its [sic] funny how things are I wish I could see you. Tonight I’m so darn lonely that if I don’t see you pretty soon I’ll take off over the hill. Tony Siragusa asked me to go with him but
[Page 2]
I refused. Tony got Sgt. of the guard this week and he’s letting off a lot of steam.Darling right now I’m up in the service club trying to write but its [sic] kind of hard because you know the racket they make around here and besides they can’t find me for details so if you can’t understand this letter I’ll translate it when I get home. Well darling I guess I’ll close for now. I love you with all of me and really I need you so much. So until tomorrow I love you. As ever
Howard
