Hello Darling:
Well I guess I’ll start the New Year right and be a good boy. I love you [D]arling and it looks like I’ll have to go quite a while with out [sic] seeing you. I just got a letter from my mom and she told me about Phil being home for [C]hristmas and all about you. Right now I’m listening to a foot ball [sic]
[Page 2]
game. Well we’re going to move next [W]ednesday and what a mad house this is. Well I went to a show New Years and had a bottle of PX beer. [D]do you mind that’s all I did so I guess I wasn’t too bad huh [D]arling? Well [D]arling I got my teeth and I got to bring them back. I guess the only way I will get a good set is to have them made by my own
[Page 3]
dentist, which I will have done if they don’t do their work [illegible deletion] right here. We got a bunch of boy[s] that just came in and they drive you nuts asking you questions. [T]hey all want to know how long it will be before they make me Sgt. [A]in’t [sic] that a laugh? Well I don’t know I have to write to Bark and Evelyn to night [sic]
[Page 4]
which I’m too tired to do. I think our bath room [sic] will look real nice [D]arling and we will be happy some of these days. Love
Howard
P.S. I love you [written backwards]. Use a mirror.
