Darling Mark, -

         Hello Sweetheart ! !

I haven’t much time to write today. We’re going in the field right after chow, & come back sometime tomorrow evening.

Honey – every time I look at your picture now I miss you so much I feel like coming to K.C. which I know I can’t – but that’s the way I feel.

It’s time for chow now so I’ll finish this when I get back if I have time.

Back again & stuffed to the gills with pork chops!

It’s pretty warm today – I guess it’ll rain tonight! It rained last nite quite a bit.

Is it very cold in K.C.?  I don’t think it could be any colder than when I was home.

Well honey I’d better close now & do some more packing. I’ll be thinking about you constantly.

Bye now.   Write Soon.

I miss you honey ! !
