My Darling Mark –
Hello Sweetheart ! !
I got a letter today. It took 3 days to get here. It usually takes just 2.
We had a retreat parade tonite for a general.
It was a little warmer today – but still cold. This morning we fired the 37 M.M.
We have another inspection tomorrow & anything we have that isn’t G.I. is going to be confiscated, so I’ve got some hiding to do tonite.
I’ve got to go to the main P.X. tonite & I sure hate to walk that far. It’s about a mile walk!
Honey, I was pretty happy all day thinking about you! The more I think of you, the more I want to come to K.C. I wish I could get amnesia and wander up that way & then wake up. I can think of more ways – but they’re all screwball ideas.
Honey the next time you dream of me & I won’t let you around – throw a brick at me or something & then you got me – I hope. I was drunk too- huh? I can’t imagine that! You know I never get drunk honey – or do you know?
Honey – I feel for you – (no cracks) having to get up at 4:45. I know how it is only too well!
I love you - honey
I miss you so much!

We have reveille at 6:30 now & we gripe plenty when we have to get up before that. I’ll be glad when I can sleep as long as I want to & then I probably won’t want to sleep.
We have to work Sunday again. Our captain is back from the hospital now. When we had a Lt. in his place when he was in – we had Sundays off & passes anytime. This guy is too G.I.
Well honey I’d better Roger-out now & see if I can get some Xmas cards before it gets too late.
Goodnite Darling. Write Soon
I love you – honey! X o X
