Dearest Marge,

            Well Darling I’ll try to scribble you a couple of lines this eve while I have nothing to do.  It’s almost 8 PM here and a heck of a nice evening.  I think I’ll go to the movie after a while. It starts around 10 PM and outside of that there isn’t much to do around here.

            I received two letters yesterday eve. One from you and one from Mom.  Marge you shouldn’t make too many plans about what we will do when I get home ‘cause it may be sometime yet.  The way things look over here right now we won’t leave till in September.  At least that’s the latest Official Rumor.  No one seems to know for sure. But all that papers say very few troops will leave the ETO in August.  Oh yes they just announced the critical score, 85 Points, T.S. for all the fellows who don’t have that many, including me.  Remember a long time ago I told you and pap I’d get home around ‘47.  Well it’s beginning to look more like I was right every day.  They told us most of the troops would go directly to the Pacific that left here during August.  Boy what rumors.

            So Naomie and Charlie are still goofing off.  I doubt if she ever will corner him unless something happens and would Eva bat her eyes then.

            Darling I’ll really be happy when I can be home with you.  It’s really been an awful long time since we were together.  Almost two years now.  By the way it won’t be long till we will have a couple anniversaries.  Aug. 8th, then a couple weeks later, Aug. 21st or 25th (which is it?).  It seems like a long time ago all this happened and then again it just as clear to me as if it happened yesterday.  Maybe tomorrow we can have some more fun.

            Well Marge news is scarce around this hole.  All you can hear is a bunch of rumors and some of those are really good.

            Darling you probably get tired of hearing that I love you but you know I do.  I love you more and more every long day I’m away from you.  I miss you so darned much that I don’t know what to do.  All I can do is wait and maybe real soon we can be together again?

            Be good Darling and keep writing even if it is just a note.

            I’ll sign off for tonight and send you all the love of a real lonesome guy to the sweetest wife in the whole world.

Faithfully Yours,

Ralph
