Hi Sweetheart,

     I’ve got only a few minutes.  Just enough time to tell you I love you.

     You make me very unhappy at times.  When I read parts of your last letter, it was one of those times.  Sweetheart, I want to come back to Indiana.  You know it would be  Forget it.  I’ll see you in L.A. July 29.  That is if I get my furlough as soon as the platoon breaks up.  I hope I do.  Don’t misunderstand me Sweetheart, I want you and we’ll have a swell time on our honeymoon in California.

     Gotta go now.

     Goodnight Sweetheart
          I love you.
