My dearest
I've missed you very, very much since that last night we were together
And will hold that night especially in my memories for years to come
I've been turning it over and over in my mind lately

I've read your letter through at least four times
And will probably read it more times before I'm through

I've been sitting here, looking at your picture
And getting more homesick every minute
I've wanted that picture more than anything else I know of
Except of course, you yourself

I keep thinking of you darling
Keep wishing I could be home with you
I want to leave in the worse possible way, so I can come home to see you
But, things don't look so good in that subject

This war has spoiled a lot of things for everyone I guess
I've never been so lonesome in my life as I am right now
I'm completely lost without you darling
I never realized I could even miss any one person so much

I just hope it won't be too much longer till I'm able to be with you again
And live a sane and normal life
