Hi Sweetheart,

How are you today? I hope you feel as good as I do. It must be the warm weather we are having. I have barely wrote any letters at all in the last two weeks because I’ve been doing an awful lot of fishing. So now I’ll try to catch up. I hope you will forgive me Honey, I’m sorry and will try to keep on the ball. Am I forgiven? I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I am in high hopes that you will. I’m sorry, honey honest. So far I have three Pike to my credit, I have to catch more then that before I can start bragging to the guys back at home. They love to fish just as much as I do, and that’s really going some. At one time fishing was my first love, but I’ve found someone to take it’s place, that person is You Sweetheart. Do you think I’m a sucker, because I’ve fell hook, Line, + sinker? I’m writting this during lunch time, what a rotten meal we had today. Boy and they call these guys cooks, Oh Brother, What an overstatement that is. They couldn’t even boil water if they had to. I’m not kidding either. It is getting close to the time for me too go to work, I’ll try to finish this letter tonight Honey? I’ll have more to write about by that time (I hope). Same old routine around here day in and out. I want to go fishing again this weekend. There’s the whistle now. Today is Wednesday, I didn’t have a chance to finish writing this letter yesterday because they had us work last night. What a life, I just can’t get used to it. No matter how long I may have already served it it I guess a guy really has to be out of his head to stay in, or enlist. Maybe that’s one reason why I got drafted. (Could be.) How is it back home now, I’ll bet it’s real nice out, man what I wouldn’t give to be there. I’m listening to a pretty nice song right now. The name of the song is “Hurry Home to Me.” Some name for it huh? “Ahem.” Don’t mind me, I guess I’m just nuts. No letters today either. Gee whiz I guess everyone is pretty well teed off at me. Oh well. I’ll sign off for now. Hoping to hear from you soon. God Bless You and Goodnight.

With Lots of Love, Bob
