My dearest wife;

Your most welcome box came today, and it is wonderful. You seem to know what I like. Don’t you? See, but that jelly roll is good. I never had anything like it before in my life. Did you make it? Thanks for the camera. Now all I need is some film. If I can’t get any around here I may as well send it back home. Everything was alright honey, and I really appreciate it very much. Thanks so much. You really kept your word this time. Other time you kept putting it off. You make me love you so much.

Well I am on C. Q. again for a change. I haven’t been on since- I guess it was last Saturday and Sunday. I think I am doing pretty good. Don’t you? Maybe I can get the job permanently.

I just sneaked out in the supply room and had another piece of that jelly roll. The supply room looks a mess, it’s good you are not here to see it now. I was so busy the last few days making up the new company property book that I had to leave everything else go.

I had to leave you again honey it was time for me to turn on the light again.

Where was I eh in the Supply Room. Twenty men went on furlough today and they brought in their barracks bags and six men went to school and they had to turn in their equipment and there I was trying to work on my records. Well the place doesn’t look so good, but it will tomorrow I hope. Monday we have to pack up to go out in the field. I think you can get a vague idea that I am kind of busy. The days just seem to fly by. It’s just another day nearer to the time I come home to you. That’s all I live for anymore. The day is near but yet so far. Honey I love you with all my heart, Maggie. I am all yours Maggie, and you know it.

I can’t seem to be able to write for the past few days. I don’t know what is wrong. Maybe too much on my mind.

I miss you and the baby so much. I don’t think I ever missed you both so much. I’d like to be home seeing our son grow. I guess this is about the best time of his life. That’s what makes marriage so complicated. War is hell.

I guess this is about all for tonight honey. I am too lonesome and homesick to go on.

Goodnight Maggie.

I love you.
