Hi Honey,

   I was beginning to think I wasn’t going to hear from you but have decided your still love me.  

Honey I haven’t heard any thing about having my car fixe or selling it either.  I’m going to Ocala today and get something strait.  I guess I’ll have to sue him.  I say Jimmie last night and we didn’t even go to the show.  

Honey you’re on the same side of the lake that I was in the boot camp.  We were in Ill. But I went over into Wis once.  If you ever go for a boat ride again, eat a lemon.  I worked in the gally when we first went out and that’s what I did.  There wasn’t over ten off the whole ship that didn’t get sick and I was one of them.  I teased all the other boys about a nice greasy pork chop and they were so sick.  

Everytime we got Army guys on board they would sit around with their helmets in their laps just in case.

Love Always
Morris
