Dearest Marge,

Well I’ll try and write you a few lines. I haven’t received any mail yet but probably will tomorrow. I’m here listening to the “World Series” ball game. Trying to listen and write too- some job.

Well you should see the picture I had taken last night. I’ll send them to you and then burn them. They are as punk as all the rest of them.

I’m kinda interested in the ball game now. I have a ticket on the game and I may win $5. I won $5 on the last game. Just luck. Well I’m going to stop now until after the game.

Love,

Ralph

It’s 9PM now and I just came from the show “Sahari”- just another war picture. A good comedy is pretty scarce here. I can’t think of any news here. It’s just the same old routine. Boy Marge I would like to be home again. Just to be with you. Someday we will be together for good. Then we can be real happy again. I’ve really missed you a lot since I came back. But I can’t help it. I love you and always will. I trust you and I always will. How is Susie acting? OK If you have any trouble, don’t forget I do too. Don’t worry about her. I know you are but she will be OK. Just wait and see. Well Marge I’ll write more as soon as I hear from you. I can’t think of much to tell you. You are the sweetest wife in the world. Be good and I’ll be seeing you soon. I love you and only you.

Yours forever,

Ralph
