Hello darling,
Well here I am again and gee I feel swell. I only wish you were here with me and everything would be perfect. Right now I’m alone in our room, all the other two guys are on guard until twelve so its [sic] very peaceful. On the radio they’re playing “How many hearts have you broken.” Yes you guessed it I’m listening to the hit parade [sic]. The music is really good to night [sic] now theyre [sic] playing I dream of you [sic]. Darling I saw norman’s [sic] [illegible] go by to day [sic] but I looked in every truck and I did’nt [sic] see him. I probably missed the one he was riding in but I would
[Page 2]
of [sic] liked to see him. Gee darling just to see someone from your old home town would do me good. To day [sic] was nice and hot and how I wish we we’re [sic] at Ocean beach [sic] again. If theres [sic] any way possible when I get out we’ll spend a few days there OK darling? But theres [sic] one thing no sun burn darling. I like to sleep nights not like last time. But gee darling it looks as if its [sic] going to be a long time before I get home. I wish they could make up there [sic] mind how and when they’ll let us out. Darling I love you very much and I always will. I hope we don’t have another war. It’s getting late darling so I’ll close now and I’ll write something tomorrow. I love you. As Ever,
Howard
