Do have to pull a few detail every once in a while darling. Have been on detail travel since been here. Expect will have two or three more before get out of thus place. I don’t like it a darn bit here darling. Expect will be home now for a week or more yet Sweet hear that it won’t be any more ship to leave here till the 19 of the month. Don’t know if will be able to catch it or not. All can do is just sit here and hope we will darling.

Sweet oh is it hot here now. My cloth is just as wet as wet can be darling.

That’s the only thing have to keep me from writing, it won’t be long before will be back home and won’t have to write. Ah yes darling all most forgot about something sweet. Happen to run upon Horace tonight just before start to leave the other place. Did not get to talk to him but just a few min for he was on his way to the shop + I was coming over here to write you a few lines. He had just got in here darling + he say this corp was the worse place he had ever been in. And he had just got in here. Wait till he leaves this place Darling there is nothing to write about in this place. But I will try + write you a little after than what have you wrote you lately. I know I should have wrote you more but I hate to write so darn bad here lately.
