Hello my Sweet & how are you this evening? Fine I
hope. As for myself I am O.K. This is the first time in
several days that I have really felt like writing.
We have been pretty busy, in fact darn busy. But
since we have had old Jerry on the run I guess
it is O.K. Honey I go your letter of the 10th to-day.
Also the Camels. Thanks a million for them & keep
sending me a carton about once a month. I also
a flat fifty from Charles Masby too. Honey I sure
would like to have the guy by the beck that
started all the rumors about me comming home.
I can't see for the life of me where it all
got started. And to stop all the rumors I will say
now, that it isn't likely that I will come home
untill this thing is over. So Honey don't believe
anything that you might hear. There is going to
be times from now on when there will be
several days between my letters. And it is going
to be because I just don't have time to write. Looks
like two pages. I Love you
Sweet
