Dear Yve
How is every little thing with you tonight? I haven’t written to you for the last two days because I was working to [sic] a hours out on the range, but today I got off a little easy instead of doing a lot of work on the range I had to take care of a lot of new men that just came in the army about 4 days ago. Well [D]arling I get a day off tomorrow. [I]t will be the first day I didn’t have to work in three weeks and then the people back in the shops kick because they have to work six days a week. I would gladly change places with one one
[Page 2]
back home even to work seven days a week because they have every night off (if they work days) to do what they want to, but down here after we finish a day's work we come in and work some more. Gee I complain a lot don’t I? Well I guess I’ll have a lot more to complain about in the future with these new recruits that just came in. I’ll be glad when the war is over and I can go home and have a place I can call a home again in stead [sic] of a the upper deck of a double decker [illegible deletion] bunk. Well [D]arling I guess I have to leave to night [sic] becasue I got [sic] to rest up so I can write tomorrow. I still love you and I guess I’ll never Stop so I’ll close to now. I love you [D]arling. Love
Howard
P.S. I love you.
P.S. I got a new address.
