“Hello Billie”

            Sorry I haven’t been writing so often as I should but you understand why promises – but I’ll do my best!

            I’ve had a little change in scenery since I wrote you last – I am now in a hospital – Don’t fret now – nothing very serious – should be back in action shortly! Only thing that makes me mad is that I left your picture back with the troop – and all this time I could be looking at you is being wasted!! – ‘course – there are a few good looking nurses around!!

            What have you been doing to occupy the long hours after the office - ? Still horseback riding? Betcha you haven’t taught that nag of yours to jump yet – have you? I can imagine!!

            I still think of the evening’s entertainment you dreamed up for me in your last letter. How about making that a reality – I need a confirmation – so don’t hesitate!! Do write soon – Did you like the flowers?

Love Charlie
