Dearest Dottie,

            Hello sweetheart and how are you today? I am about the name and that is not too bad I will make it.  Honey today is Sunday and it has been very quiet for me to.  I am very blue and can’t help it any Ho. Ho.

            Pattie tell mother I said hello and to take good care of herself.  Gee I wish I could see both of you.  It seem like we knew each other for a long long time to me.  How do you feel about that?  I am very found of you my dear.

            Just wait until I get home then I will try to make you understand what I really mean.  It is real hard for me to write.  I can’t explain what I want to but that is the only way now.

            Sweetheart I am at the Red Cross now.  I have been sitting around hear trying to read a little.  But I had to stop and write you.  I like it better any way.  There is not much I have to say but at least you know I am thinking of you tonight.

            Honey I think of you each day that goes by.  The only thing is you are far far away; someday you will be near though.  Then I will make up for lost time.

            Pattie my sweet I will sign off now with a big KISS and good night for you.  Lost of love and sweet dreams.
