Dearest Beautiful Wife:
I love you and am terribly lonesome for you. When I think of what I would be doing right now if I were still up North, it makes me very lonesome. I would be well on my way home right now instead of sitting on my bunk writing to you.
I was allowed to let three men out of my section of fifteen, to go on pass. I was tempted to go out myself, but I thought better of it as there were just three men in my section who have never been out on a pass. So good hearted me, I let them all go.
To break the monotony, I am going to a show tonight. May be a beer or two, depending on how I feel.
Of course everybody were telling you that you were beautiful, it is only because you are just that.
My new job has kept me rather busy and I hope that you will forgive me for neglecting you. It is not intentional. You are always in my heart and my mind. How can I ever forget you, when you are so much a part of me. There are times when I wished that I could forget you because of thought of you bother my concentration, and there are plenty of times that it is necessary for me to use all my powers of concentration.
Most of the men who left on furlough are back. The next group to leave will not be allowed to go until our present training program is over. The schedule is up to the 26th of this month. My furlough, will, in probabilities, not be before the month of December. You will just have to take me when I get there.
The Infantry outfit is supposed to move out before long. Just what will happen to us is a mystery.
Tomorrow if I get the chance, I am going into the main camp to check on my pictures. You should have received them by this time.
Everything down here is Snafu. In the Army, "Snafu" stand for "Situation normally f--ked up". [Situation normal, all f--ked up]
I have failed to mention that I have put on weight. I weigh about 165 now. Do you think you will be able to stand up under all that weight?
When I get home, you will have to carry it quite often. That should be pleasant.
So you think that I will be the one to get burned, do you?
You may be surprised. With all the exercise I have been getting, with no sexual relief, I am storing up quite a charge.
...
Well Beautiful Sweetheart I will have more time tomorrow to write, so I will close with all my love.
Your Husband
Bob
