Dearest darling Yve.,
Gee I love you so much to night [sic] and it gets worse all the time. If it get worse I’ll have to go home. Well darling nothing new has happened to day [sic] except I went up for dental exam and got by. An other [sic] thing I give up smoking at last for the time being. I don’t know what brought it on but I got up this morning and I haven’t smoked any today aren’t I good darling?

[Page 2]

I probably will start in again but not for a while. I guess its [sic] because your we’re going to have a baby that why I’m giving it up. Well darling to night [sic] Tony and I went to the service club and had dinner and then we sat and shot the bull (in other word talked) about nothing in particular and that’s ends my day. I love you so very much and I need you mommy. I want you so very much. Your loving husband worst half.

Howard

[The following was written as a postscript]

P.S. I love you more than you love me.
