Convalescent Hospital, France
Dolph's Letter #38
Dear Sweetheart —
Well another day nearer to the end of the war + another step nearer our reunion.
The weather isn't nice at all — hope it doesn't interfere with operations — the news is good.
Not much going on, as per usual. Ran out of stationery + not allowed to buy in the Px till to-morrow therefore this paper.
I'm sure I've written more than 38 letters — but when I lost my stationery I lost the count.
Everything all right dear?
My arm doesn't bother me — coming along very nicely
This place just isn't exciting at all — very quiet, so I'm reading — that's all — getting lazy I guess.
Well dear I hope you are well + taking good care of yourself. I'm not living at all — I exist in a vacuum — without you. I love you so very much.
Your devoted husband
Dolph.
