Hello Darling,
Its [sic] only me again and gee how I miss you. To day [sic] I was out on the field and up came a big hail storm and I’m not kidding when I say the hail stones were as big as this [draws a circle to convey the size of the hail stones] and some were even biger. [sic] Well any way [sic] when it started hailing we came back to camp and here I am. I just finished ironing a suit of sun tans and I’m all set for bed.
[Page 2]
Except for the blue pajamas I haven’t got them. Gee I miss the way you used to laugh at them. I love you so much. So the Fowlers are really having troubles well I guess they can’t really help it and they are both just kids. Darling you have no faults that I want to correct because I love you like you are and if you change I might not love you as much, so you see it would be taking a chance and I know you’ll make one a swell wife and if you have any habbits [sic] you can correct them when I get back home to stay. I love you darling and I must leave you now. As ever,
Howard
