Hello my darling,
How does this find you this Sabbath day? Did you get to go to church today? We did although it was a terrible rainy morning. There were 104 at Sunday School. That wasn't bad for a rainy morning. I just finished my dishes and Denny is asleep and Janice is dressing up. I talked to George Squire a few minutes ago he wanted your address. Mrs. Masonie was over yesterday evening and wanted to know how the ground stood. George showed her the stakes and all. She would like it I believe if it were more ground. Time will tell who will buy I guess. George said if we stayed he would give us enough ground to square up the lot. He would say that now wouldn't he? Although its generous of him to mention it.
 I guess ill go out home Wed and stay a couple of days. I'm sure getting anxious to move.
  I sure don't have to worry about kindling dear. The cheese plant dumped a whole truck of better boxes out here on Mr. Ervins back yard and he said I could have all I wanted to use. I still have lots of coal I got 4 ton awhile back and have used very little of it.
  We don't have our picture yet will send yours as soon as they come. Are you going to have your picture taken for is? Please do dear.
   Brother Marshall is sick. He preached this morning but Clarence Strickler led the singing and everything. Roy Strickler goes to the army the 10th of May. I sat by her in church this morning. He is a special assignment too.  Herman Patterson was wounded again. He went back to the front again a couple weeks ago. I guess these wounds aren't serious.
  The grass sure is growing it looks like Ill have to mow it one day this week. The ground is just full of water we have had lots of rain. Didn't see Mary Anna yesterday guess she didn't come into town. I guess I told you didn't I that she had to be operated on.
   Darling is it possible for you to get to go to school yet? I hope you can stay here in the States, but I guess what fate has in store for us we'll take and try to like. I do hope darling it wont be too long until I can see you again. It seems a long time since I have seen you.
   Well dearest we must try to make the best of it and you try to get as much good out of it as you can we know one of these days it will be over and we can really live and love again as we have in the past wonderful 7 years well love for now dearest Gene.
              All the Love in the World for you,
                         Helen, Janice, and Dennis

My Dearest Helen,               I haven't much to write about today as its the same old thing over and over again.We have just had a captains inspection and are now able to be in our barracks again,     So far darling I haven't got any mail I sure hope that I hear from you before we leave as I know that you must have a lot of news to tell me. It seems a year since I have left but time marches on and each day must surely be bringing this war to a close and the we can together for always I hope.       How are you all now darling? How is Janice and Denny by now are they over their colds and how about yourself dearest are you O.K.? I suppose that you must be working hard getting lined up to move and all. Darling dont work to hard and try not to worry about me. I know that it is hard to try not to but we must always feel that we are well. I shall try to look out for myself as its a good policy for a service man to do. ...
