what to do. And another thing, when I tell you there’s not a room within fifty miles of camp I’m not kidding because I’ve had my friends check up and I did a little checking myself and Darling I’d hate to have you come and go back on the next train. [D]on’t get me wrong darling I want you here with me more than anything in the world and in your letter you said to wait until I got home before we talk but you know how to make me agree so its [sic] no good. Darling I got to close now but I’ll write to morrow [sic]. I love you so much darling. As Ever


Howard
