Dear Sweetheart —

I am sorry I haven't been writing more frequently, but have been kept very busy, as Lts. are expected to be.

I do hope you aren't unduly alarmed by the prospects of the immediate future, for I am fortunate in going over at this time rather than with other things which go askew with any youthful organization such as our Army, corrected but the end is relatively in sight. Let us hope so.

I sure hope that hood catches up with me, as it didn't arrive before I left my last station. I am keenly anticipating it. Also that money belt is a dandy idea. But what did you send me? You know, you are wonderful, & more adorable even than when we first married. I feel rather proud & oh so happy that we are married. I am very lucky.

It's too bad we couldn't be making the trip together, but of course I don't want you to forget that we shall make loads of trips together after the war. That would be something if officers were authorized to have wives with them — but a war zone is no place for my wife.

Glad you didn't get into any trouble about the train, but would have been surprised if you had, for they seem like a regular bunch of fellows.

If I'm lucky I might be able to phone you. Also there is an outside chance I might be able to see our folks — yours & mine.

Please take good care of yourself & know that my love is always warm & steadfast. Our future shall be marvelous & sublime.

Your devoted husband,
Dolph

P.S. If you can get me 2 prs. of felt insoles, or just any kind, ten innersoles for my combat shoes, like Monty, I'd appreciate it. My shoes are 10½ C. Thanks loads.
