Hello darling,
I love you I love you I love you. Thats [sic] the way I feel to-day [sic]. I could go for some of that mushy mush right now to [sic]. You don’t know or wouldn’t know just how I feel but you have a good idea. After all you spent a little time with me. I wish I could be home for a little while and just you and I go to the beach and do nothing but enjoy ourselfes ourselves for about three or four days. Last night I made a mistake on the date of the letter it was the 19th instead of the 18th but it doesn’t make any difference I love you
[Page 2]
and thats [sic] the main thing you know darling since the war has been over I miss you a lot more. I guess it’s because I haven’t been quite so busy and have more time to think of all the good times we used to have. Well darling I just got back from signing the pay roll and I got my point [sic] figured out and I only got 44 up till [sic] may [sic] 5 so I haven’t got enough to get out of the army yet. All I need is 41 more to make it. Darling where can I get 41 more points? I want to go home. Darling its [sic] too bad you can’t be here. There’s only one thing I miss bad and that [sic] you. I miss you
[Page 3]
so darn much darling its [sic] terrible. There’s only one guy in our company that can get a discharge and thats [sic] because he spent over two years over seas [sic]. Well darling I guess I got to go now so I’ll write to morrow [sic] I love you very much and miss you so darn much I love you As Ever,
Howard

P.S. I’m kind of crazy ain’t I?
P.S.S. I love you more.
