Hi Honey:

How are you today? Good as usual I bet. I feel pretty good, but still wish to high heaven that I were at home. This has been an awful slow day today. Time just seemed to drag by for me. It seems like years before my time will be up and here I have but 9 ½ months more to go. DO you think you can wait that long for me Sweetheart? You know that is an awful long time. I don’t want any one to be monkeyed up, by wasting their time on me. You mostly Sweetheart. I don’t even know if I’m worth the trouble. This doggone Army gets me so disgusted with life, I just don’t feel in the mood to ever write letters. There never seems to be anything to write about. Army life is the same day in and day out. The same old rigamarole all the time. Back home I always had something to do. Last Saturday was the first time that I’ve ever really enjoyed myself, the reason was that I went fishing. Then I really can relax and enjoy myself. Sweetheart it feel like a heel I still don’t have any pictures. Duane took some in Paris, we are going to have two pictures of each made, that way we’ll have enough to send out. Your picture was really cute Honey. Honestly I liked it an awful lot too. You have a beautiful figure (M-M-M-M) Just right, and in the right places too. Your lips seem nice and soft but I hope I’ll be able to taste their sweetness when we are alone? So save them for me. Goodnight Darling and God Bless You.

Your hopeful Lover, Bob
