Mary Darling:

I suppose you are getting tired of the short letters, but Dearest there is nothing around here to write about.  The only thing that I can say is that I am well and getting along.  I hope Darling that you are well and getting along fine.  I miss you more all the time Darling and I know that you miss me.  The time goes a lot faster or seems to any way Darling, when there is something to look forward to every three weeks, but you know Dear that it still goes away t too slow to suit me.  I am answering one of your letters that you wrote on the 24^th of December.  I only wish that I would of received the letter before I came up there.  But Darling we can start what you was talking about then I got up there again.  That is if you still want to Dearest.  Do you still think you will?

I was looking for a letter from you today Darling but none came.  I haven’t received a letter since I was up there but they will start arriving before long.

Darling did you get caught up with your work yet in the office yet? or are the girls deviling you so much that you don’t have a chance to work?  Darling please don’t work when I get up there again.  I miss you so awful much that I want to be with you every minute that I can and Darling I will try and catch up on the kisses you sent me.  Do you think that I can Dearest?

Don’t forget Mary Dear that we will have the other room when I am there again for you know how it was the last time.  The place will not be as wide but Darling we don’t take much room, do we Darling.  I was dreaming about you last night Dearest and it was a wonderful dream.  I thought I had you in my arms and I could feel your sweet lips on mine and it was so nice, but something woke me up before the dream was finished and I was so disappointed and I missed you so much.  Darling I hope you don’t dream and almost choke your Mother when you have your arms around her neck like she said you did.  Darling you better wait till I get there before you dream like that again.  Darling it is a good thing that I sleep by my self when I get to dreaming or it is hard to tell what might happen.  I will have to say Good Night now Darling for it is getting late.  I miss you so much and I am sending you all my love till I see you

Your lonesome Loving Husband,
Harry.
