Dearest Yve,
I’m just droping [sic] you a few lines before I go on guard. Its [sic] the first time since about Feb “43” Well darling things are about the same with me and I haven’t had any mail since I got those letters that you sent. I got the first air mail so you can check that one off. I took a shower to-day and it was quite a novelty because its [sic] been quite a while [sic] since I’ve had one. You can imagine
[Page 2]
what a guy would smell like with out [sic] washing. One of the boys just came up stairs and said the mail came in so maybe I’ll hear from you yet. Darling I just got your number two letter so I guess they’re coming in o k. I got to go now but will write to night [sic] if I have some time. I love you darling and always will. lot [sic] of love
