days About the blood test I’ll have to mak[e] an appointment at the hospital for that but that won’t take long. I’ve had that done about five times already. I[‘m] getting to be full of holes. I got a letter from Warren to-day [sic] and he seems to like the idea of us getting married. Darling I got to go to bed now because first call is 4:45 AM. I love you with all my heart and please darling Will you still marry me? Lots of love

Howard
