Dearest wife,
  How are you on this Monday morning? I am fine and hope that all is well with my dear family at home.
   This is the last letter that I will write dear until I get back here again as Ill probably beat them home if I write after to-day.
  Just think darling 3 days left and then home to you all again. Gee I hope these next hours really fly. If nothing happens I will be home Thursday probably about 6:00 p.m as I don't know for sure when I will arrive I am planning on going from here to Ft. Wayne in order to save some time on train connection so just keep calm Thursday and your home sick sailor will probably coming rolling in.
   What did you do Sunday dear? I went to church and wrote letters most of the day. I wrote to Uncle Jims as I owed them a letter.
   How are all the neighbors and all I hope they are all well.
Tomorrow we get paid off and get our round trip ticket for home also we finish our service week on Tuesday then we will lashing our gear as all of it needs to be lashed an stowed while we are home on leave.
  Most of the boys are writing these last letters home to-day and everyone of us are anxiously awaiting the 6th of April.
   The weather here is cold again and looks like it will snow before the day is over. How is the weather there dear to-day?
    Good morning Janice and Denny How are my dears to-day. Daddy sends you a kiss and hug. Daddy will sure be glad to see you all again. So don't forget to ask god to bring Daddy home safely so that he can love Janice Denny and Mama ever more.
      Well dearest time is going and I must be on the job at 8:00 p.m. so will sign off for now. I love you all with all my heart.                                                   Daddy
P.S. My pants are so big around the waist that I'll have to get them cut down when I get home again. Perhaps I can wear some of my cloths again Ha...keep your chin up darling

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. ...
