My sweetheart,

It’s been very lonesome this weekend, not being with you, I really missed you, I went to the show last night and saw the “Sullivans” it was a very good picture, one of the best I saw for a long time. It was a little sad but good.

            I put that picture of you and the baby in that frame you sent to me and it looks good.

            We had chicken for dinner today and it tasted pretty good, we also had ice cream and chocolate pie. It seemed strange to eat in camp again.

            We have a busy schedule for next, rather this week, we are going to be on the range all this week, firing all the different weapons. I think the only one I have to fire is the carbine. I think I will wait until after pay day for that there day pass, if I can get it then that will be around the 5^th of March. I can’t see of any way to get home any sooner, There wasn’t any this week because of the range.

            How is the baby behaving? I hope he was good today, he usually seems to be good on Sundays. Will you give him a big kiss for me? I missed seeing him too. How are you? You said you weren’t feeling so good last week. What seems to be the trouble? Tell me all about it for I am worried about you.

            I haven’t much to say right now, I could say I love you a thousand times but that wouldn’t mean so much, and take up a lot of paper. I do love you my dear please believe me.

            I love you honey,

Preston
