Well darling [sic] nothing new has happened to day [sic] except it rained like the devil and I got wet but so did all the rest of the company. Darling I know you
[page 2]
went to the dance at the Polish Hall and I want you to have a good time and I’m glad that you wrote and told me about it. Well I went to a dance last night and well you know what a dance in a service club is. Well maybe they will have one no-break dance out of every six or seven dances and all the rest are tag dancers.

[page 3]
body taps you on the back so I guess I didn’t dance very many dancers but I got one gal down here that couldn’t dance at all and I kept going over in to [sic] the stag line to see if some of the other guys wouldn’t tag her but I guess they saw I was having [a] difficult time with her and they wouldn’t break. Yve. I met a guy from Southbridge last night as I walked in to [sic] the dance I paid my two-bits (25¢) to you I held my hand out to be stamped and he was the one that stamped it.

He lives on high street or he did the name is Manville so I talked with him for a while. Well here a little article of past war plans and I kind of like them do you. Well darling [sic] I got to go now but will write to morrow [sic]. I love you and be good huh? and I’ll see you in my dreams to-night [sic] Love
