Dearest darling wife,
Well here it is sunday [sic] and no letter yet, but theres [sic] always to-morrow. Well darling I had a very busy day trying to take a bath in a helmet and if you think it [sic] easy, just try it sometime. Then I took in a train nearby and look [sic] around. It wasn’t much to see because when I saw town I mean about one city block and no more. Thats [sic] about all there was to do and now I think I’ll get my old sack out and go to bed. Gee darling I guess I’m a little home sick [sic] to-day. I haven’t heard anything from you and I sure would like to get back to the states. Not that I don’t like being in the army (not much) but
[Page 2]
it [sic] just I want to be with you. Gee darling you just don’t know how much I miss you even in the little room in Providence I’d like to know how you made out. You see when I left you I thought maybe I’d be able to get back and see you but it didn’t work that way. Well darling good night for now. I love you very much and please write. [and get.] I hope I get a letter to morrow [sic]. All my love
Howard

p.s. I’m only kidding. I know you write. Its [sic] just I haven’t got any yet.
