Dearest Sweetheart:

How is my One and only today? Feeling nice and Loveable, and I’ll bet real kissable. Oh if only I could find out. Gee Honey this place gives me the whillies. I’ve been down here since Tuesday and I really and truly can’t say that I’ve accomplished a heck of a lot. Although I’ve had a lot of time to sleep. Would you believe me if I said that I went to sleep at 645 last night? Well I did, and that is the earliest that I have ever gone to bed. There just isn’t anyone to talk to down here. I don’t know any of the guys either. I’m in a separate wing of the barracks all by myself. Just me and fourteen empty beds. Now I know how a prisoner must feel. All I want to do is get this job done and get back to Bad Kreuznach. I never could hate a place as much as I dislike this joint. Enough about me, how is the world treating you Honey? Everything okay? Did you get the picture I sent to you? They weren’t very good so I still owe you some better ones. Guess what I brought with me? The picture of you of you wearing the sweater I like so much. I don’t think it’s the sweater too much as what is in it. Oh Sweetheart everytime I look at it my heart beats all the faster. Just think Honey, July is nearly here, time is moving by pretty fast but not fast enough. Days seem like weeks and weeks seem like months. Gee but the time drags now that it is nearly time to go home. I just can’t wait to get out of this Army, I just can’t get used to it. Ah so much for now. I’ll write more later. Goodnight and Sweetdreams.

With Lots of Love, Bob
