Hello

          Yo te amo

Darling Mark –

Hello Sweetheart!!

         No letter today!

I feel like writing to you anyway. I just got off K.P. a little while ago. It wasn’t so bad. Today it was cold & rained continuously – so I guess I was lucky I was inside all day.

Honey –this sure is a wonderful pen. It’s a pleasure writing with it. All I have to do now is learn how to write.

I’m still sore from riding last Sunday.

I’m going to bed early tonight – I can’t get enough sleep.

We have another training film in the theatre in the morning – I reckon that would be a chance to catch up on some.

I’m sitting here half-asleep now & dreaming of you honey. Honey you had better be careful – theres a lot of flu going around & by the sound of things the weather there is just right for it.

Well honey I’d better close now & get to sleep. I miss you honey ! ! ! !

Goodnite honey.                 X       O      X
