Dearest Yve,
Well here’s your husband to night [sic] and he feel pretty good for a friday. You know friday is the day that I don’t get any letters but I love you just the same as I always did. Darling you couldn’t know what your letters mean to me. A letter from you is like something from heaven. I’ll get one tomorrow anyway because it never fails. Darling I got a package thats [sic] got to be sent home and when I told the supply sgt to send it for me he
[Page 2]
put my folks address on it so it will go there. Your [sic] not mad are you? Its [sic] just some old and new clothes that I have no use for here any more [sic] and I had to get rid of them before I ship out of this camp because I can’t carry all my stuff around. If I can’t use the stuff somebody else can so thats [sic] why I had it sent. You know darling I’m getting to feel like an old man already and I’m really not very old at all. I guess I just need to get home and have you with me for a while. I love you so darn much and want you worse.
[Page 3]
Its [sic] getting worse all the time. It [sic] a good thing I haven’t got much more time in this army because I’d spoil my good record and go over the hill. We got all moved up to our new barracks and its [sic] much nicer here but cold. We seem to get a nice cold wind from the ocean. You know we can see the ocean from the barracks. I just want to see main st. in Southbridge the heck with water all the time. I love you so much darling all I can think of is going home. I want you more than anything in the world. I love you with all my heart. I need you darling. As Ever.
Howard
