My darling

I am feeling pretty good today. I am getting ready for the party tonight, and we may have to fall out soon so if it is cut short you know the reason why. I gave Lee your letter, and I was and I was up there to see a few of the boys just in case I don’t get to see them before the leave tomorrow.

I am madly in love with you my dearest, and all I can think about is you, all day long. You are so good for me.

I wanted to tell you that when you come out here to bring a couple pair of socks for me about two or three pair of underwear and maybe a suit or two of my khakis. We don’t want to forget the alarm clock, and maybe you want to take your radio.

We wouldn’t have to pay any electric bill at that place I was telling you about, just gas and maybe some oil, and then we won’t need the heat long. He says it is a very good gas stove to cook on.

I haven’t done much of anything today except type a few things one of them being the little paper enclosed. Give it back to me if you don’t want it around.

I don’t know of much more to write about my dear, but take good care of that kid of ours. I think he is swell. He is going to be like you in more ways than one.

I still didn’t get anymore letters, so you better get on the ball this week and the next two.

I am going to quit now for tonight I am going to add more in the morning and tell you about the party.

Tuesday A.M.

I had a pretty good time last night, but there was something missing. If you could have been with me I could have had a perfect evening. They had a good floor show. I didn’t get drunk honey just feeling gay. I only had about 8 bottles of beer.

It stopped snowing yesterday morning about 9 and cleared up and the seen came out and melted most of the snow, we only had a couple inches. Today also looks like it may be a nice day anyway I hope so.

Honey do you think you can send my watch. I didn’t want to say anything but I don’t own a $1.50. If you can do anything about it I would appreciate it very much.

I love you awfully much this morning again, gee I wish I could do something about it.

I am going to sign off for now. I will write again tonight.

All my love to you my dear.
