Dearest Mary:

Just a couple more lines to let you know that I am well and getting along as best I can with out you, and that is not so good.  I guess you know Darling how it is.  I received one letter from Mom today Dearest, and I am sending it along to you.  It is kind of bad around home now.  I don’t know when it has ever been like it is now at home for a long time.  Dearest does it ever get that bad around Scotland?  Darling I sure wish we were back there together.  It would not make any difference what the weather was like, would it Dearest?  Just as long as we were together.  I am just waiting till I can be with you again.  I guess that is the only reason that I can get along here [hoping] I can see my Darling wife once in a while.

Have you been to any more good shows?  Home in Indiana is on here at the base now but I am not going to see it.  I don’t like to go any place with out you Dearest, for there is nothing in life that means any thing to me but my Sweet Darling Wife.  I can not get interested in a show no matter how good it is.  Did you get the rest of the pictures yet?  I have the others over here yet.  I am waiting till I get the other ones so I can send them home together.

Darling I got my watch back at last, now I can count the minutes till I am with you again my own Dearest wife.  I am going to have to make this letter a little short Darling but I love you so much.  I am thinking of you all the time even when I am asleep Dearest.  I will have to say Good Night now Dearest.

All my love
Your Lonely Loving Husband till I am with you
Harry.
