Wednesday 20 Dec, 1944


Dearest Kitten:
This is your very tired husband writing to you. I have been taking an hour of calisthenics a day and it is knocking me the hell out of me.
I did not have my pen with me and sent my charge of quarters down for it. He let me use his pen while he was gone for mine, that is the reason for the paint brush writing when I started.
The reason why I haven’t written since Saturday is quite simple. I have been busy as a little beaver or a one armed paper hanger with the seven years itch and the crabs. Even though I am so busy your are always a part of my thoughts every minute of the day, and are always in my dreams.
Things are getting worser & worser. Can’t even take a shower in peace anymore. Whenever I lay down to sleep I always finish my prayers off with a prayer that someone does not come and wake me before 05:15. Even if a man loses his way to his bunk, he seems to be able to locate me to find out where he is supposed to sleep.
Received six of your Xmas cards. They were all very nice and while opening them I got so d--- homesick that it was not funny.
Enclosed is a letter that I wrote to Andrew. The A.P.O. must be wrong so the next time that you write to him, please enclose the letter. Even if it is about four months old, a letter from me is a treat indeed.
Took some more pictures on Sunday. It takes about two weeks to have them developed & printed so it will be a while before you receive them. I used the roll of film that you sent to me.
Sorry Sweetheart, but I have to close. I love you Beautiful, with all of my heart.
Give my regards to everyone & kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving Devoted & Faithful Husband,

Bob
