Hello [D]arling:
How are you to-day [sic]? I’m not mad at you what makes you think I am? I sent my watch and I’ll send the twenty dollars when I get a chance. Well [D]arling I wish I could go home but the way thing[s] are down here I guess I’ll have to stay here a while. There [sic] shipping a lot of the boys out of here to join there [sic] division and I don’t know that any day I might leave here. I didn’t write to you last night because I went to the hospital to see my buddy Tony Friagusa.
[Page 2]
[H]e was operated on [M]onday and he was glad that I came. I hope you don’t mind? Well we’re on a seven day week down here and I haven’t had much time to myself but I get plenty of time to think about you. I like this better paper that you sent me and I love you very much. I feel the best to-day [sic] that I have for a whole month. Well [D]arling the war is going to be over pretty soon and then I [will] come home and then you can beat me if you want to. Well [D]arling I guess I’ll close now but don’t think I’ll ever stop loving you because if I do I’ll lit [sic] you know. I love you.
Howard
