Hi Sweetheart,

Well here I am, over here at a different outfit, for how long I don’t know. It took over six hours to get here. I’m to be a parts expiditor. I won’t get any mail while I am here. So keep writting to my other address. All I have to do is, give the right Stack number and nomenclature for parts, and see if they all came in good shape. The name of the outfit is 78th Heavy Ordnance Battalion. We draw a hang of a lot of parts from them too, so now that we was sending old parts back for turn in. Please keep the letters rolling in Honey, I want some nice sexxy letters when I get back there. Here are a couple of pictures we took after [crease] fishing trip. I know they don’t look to hot but it must be that I’m in the picture. Today is the 19th, I didn’t have too much time to write last night so I’ll finish it tonight. Gee whiz no one around here seem to know what in hang is going on. They have a bunch of Sargeants who don’t ever know their posts, boy my job is all layed out. How are you today Sweetheart? I hope you are alright. I feel fine but wish I were back at Bad Kreuznack . Time goes by much too slow for me here. The trouble is that I don’t know any of the guys down here. No one to talk too, and I’m all alone too. One guy with six meds to talk too. Gee I wish I had a certain some one here right now. (Guess who?) Gee whiz Honey, I’m lost without any mail from you. These guys had mail call today at eleven o’clock. There wasn’t any use for me to stay there because they won’t give me my mail till I get back to Bad K. I thought an awful lot about you last night, I couldn’t fall to sleep, so I just lay there thinking of you. Of how you look, also of that beautiful figure. How could I ever forget it. Ah, see there I go again. I dream of you much to much, do you think that is bad? Well Sweetheart there’s a time when I even run out of works. So I’ll say again I Love You very much. Goodnight and sweet dreams.

With Lots of Love, Bob
