My dearest, I’ve missed you very, very much since that last night we were together. I will hold that night especially in my memories for years to come. I’ve been turning it over and over in my mind lately. I’ve read your letter through at least 4 times, and I will probably read it more times before I’m through. I’ve been sitting here…looking at your picture and getting more homesick every minute. I’ve wanted that picture more than anything else I know of; except of course…you yourself. I keep thinking of you darling; keep wishing I could be home with you. I want to leave in the worst possible way, so I could come home to see you, but…things don’t look so good in that subject. This war has spoiled a lot of things for everyone I guess. I’ve never been so lonesome in my life as I am right now. I’m completely lost without you darling. I never realized I could miss any one person so much, I just hope it won’t be too much longer till I’m able to be with you again, and live a sane and normal life.
