Darling,

I feel sort of sorry that I wrote that letter yesterday. It was sort of rough I guess. Anyway I hope not, darling, just read it over and think everything over very carefully then forget it and don't get mad at me. The way I miss you all the time, I'm sort of sorry I wrote it now. I was just in a sour mood I guess. I wrote a very strong letter to my parents too. They were missing me and Auxels were teasing them again. I told them to follow in your footsteps a little, I told them how brave you are.

Take a short break with our 1 minute survey, simple questions that are an enjoyable distraction.

Edit

Last night we had open post again and Frederick came to visit me along with two other sages. The fellows, my room mate were half scared and didn't know what to do, so they "popped to" come to attention. Did we laugh. You know we're have so much "punishment" from sergeants that we're all half scared of them. Frederick seems to be in a very good shape. He was with two nice fellows too. I believe his personality has changed 100%. By the way dearest, I'll answer some of your questions now. We eat three meals a day on mess hits and am beginning to like it. I think the grease or the caustic soda that they wash

P.S.S. - Love and Greetings to everyone.

the mess kits in, is the cause of the G.I. Blues. I've been scrubbing my mess kit personally after every meal so I haven't gotten them yet. Some of them had it so bad they had to go on sick call to the infirmitry. I got over my injections very well. My vaccinations is taking beautifully. Its about as long as a dime. It got a little sore, but I didn't mind it. I haven't been writing my parents more than about 2 letters a week. I'd like to write you my dear three letters a day, my parents two and your parents and everybody else but I'm too busy. No matter how busy I am dearest, I'll write your once a day.

Usually, darling, I'm with everybody. When I'm off post I'm with the fellows from Potherstown or that married man from Bryn Mowr. We're have so little open post dear, that there's really not much to talk about. I haven't heard from Laurence yet. I wish he would send me my checks soon, doggonit. Darling, please rush your picture to me with "eternally yours" on it down here right away, darling. I can't stand not seeing you any longer. There are very few women here on the post, only authorised ones and officiers wives. There are quite a few up the beach further. Darling every girl I see makes me feel sick inside - I miss you so much. We had a swim detail this afternoon - the first swim and was it nice. This evening I'm going to buy presents and look up Frederick. By now my precious darling, I love you wuth all my heart

All my love
Herb

Did you know: The word "inst" was a very commonly used abbreviation for the Latin "instante mense" meaning this month.
