Hello Darling,
How are you to-night? I feel so lonely that I’m about ready to send a telegram for you to come down but I’ll wait until christmas [sic]. Well darling, I hope Jim gets home alright but he had to learn his lesson the hard way. Well nothing new happened to day [sic] but it was a long one and I feel so sleepy just like the time I fell asleep at the foot of the bed and you let me stay that way until I woke up and realized where I was. Don’t get [nervous]
[Page 2]
darling I didn’t have any beer to night [sic] just a natural feeling. There’s a couple of boys that had a few beers and are trying to play ping pong. Well darling your [sic] coming down aren’t you? I wish I knew. I love you and want you so much. Tell me the day you expect to be here and I [sic] see if I’m off. I’m very tired to-night and i’m going to bed now. I love you so very very much I can’t live without you. I need you so much. Yours
Howard

P.S. I love you more
