Hello beautiful;

How are you to-night [sic]? I went for my instructions again to-night [sic] and the chaplain is still waiting for the form that is supposed to be filled out and I’m more in love with you to-day [sic] than I ever was. On the level [?] darling I love you so much that if I love you any more I’ll go nuts. I haven’t changed and I won’t. I haven’t had a letter from home for a long time and I wish they would write

something even if its [sic] only a post card. Darling I was out in the feild [sic] all day to day [sic] and I couldt [sic] get to the hospital to have a blood test but I think I’ll make it to-morrow [sic]. I hope so anyway. Gee darling I can’t wait for a furlough although I guess I’ll have to. I ought to be home around the twelth [sic] of June. I’m awful tired to-night [sic] but I love you and good night darling. Love


Howard
