Dearest Marge,
Well Honey
I’ll try and tell you where I am. I’m in
I hope it doesn’t rain cause I haven’t any tent up yet. Just too lazy to I guess.
By the way my address is:

There are a lot of crap games going on around here tonight
and this morning some of the fellows didn’t have a penny.
There
aren’t any mosquitoes here but wood ticks and chiggers. Also
pine trees. It’s not bad so far. I haven’t shaved for three days now and
you can imagine what I look like or can you.
Marge you
might as well forget about coming to see me cause I
don’t know where you would get a room around here. This way we don’t know how
long or how often we can get to town. If any. We left
a lot of stuff stored at
Honey I
wish I could see you but I guess it’s impossible now.
Don’t forget I love you and always will. Boy Marge I wish I had another
furlough right now. I’d come home and we would have some fun.
Well Honey I never got this
finished last night. I’ll write more tonight. Don’t forget I love you more than
anything else in this old world. I love you and trust you Marge and always
will.
I
have to go on a hike now.
Love,
Ralph
