Dearest darling wife,

much to write to night [sic] except I didn’t get any letter and I’m kind of lonely. I think (Carry (the red hair peep driver) is going on furlough the same time I am so I’ll be able to ride to albany [sic] N.Y. with him. My mom sent me a package with some eats in it to day [sic] and I’ve got to write her a letter to thank her for it. I’ve got about three minutes until lights out so I’ll have
