	I Love You! Sunday 3 Sept 1944 6 PM My Dearest Hon: Guess I’m going to have to get accustomed to my mail being spaced by 3 or 4 days. As it is it’s 3 days again since having a letter from you, and it’s hard to keep writing something when from day to day everything remains the same & there isn’t a letter to answer. But it’ll be done as long as I’m away from you! I Love You Darling! At this time back home I imagine you’re getting ready for Sunday dinner and we have already eaten supper and will probably hit the stereo in a few hours! We did have a good
	chicken dinner today, so there’s really nothing to gripe about! Received Holy Communion this morning. And all the rest of the day I’ve slept, spent it like a man really should spend Sunday. Remember when we were at the gap? – Sunday seemed to be a day when they would decide to work! But Gee it was wonderful! I Love You! Am so darn lonesome for you Honey, sure wish they keep driving over there so this will end soon. What do you think of the war news Honey? Man are they ever going eh? But the game isn’t over yet, the game is never over till the last man is
	is out, and it usually is that a team will fight harder at the end. So almost any day now I figure the [Hienes?] will put up a hell of a fight! The guys are playing solitaire for money here. They sell the deck for 52 cents and pay off 5 cents for every card turned up. The guys selling usually wins! Darling toodle doo for today, will write again tomorrow! God Bless You! I Love You! Love & Kisses
