Dearest darling wife,
Its [sic] only me again and I’m so much in love with a little girl in Southbridge that nothing else matters. I wish I was with this little girl tonight because I’m in the mood to mush up all the hair and I feel so mushy mush tonight. Well darling I just got back from the USO show which was very good. It was an all my negro show and I enjoyed it very much. I just saw Ray about five minutes ago and I told him to stick around a little

while and he could watch me crawl in to [sic] nice warm bed, you see he has to go back in the field and sleep on the cold ground. Ray says to say hello for him and here goes (Hello).

I love you darling and I wish I could be with you. I love you darling. As Ever
