partial letter.. no date

Dewey does not agree. Of course a lot is politics but I do believe Dewey is a square shooter. They say most of the service men will vote for Roosevelt but if they want to come home Why? Do as you please but you should vote Gene. I know politics are rotten clean through but its time to change.
    Well my dearest I haven't much news and the kiddies are awakening so Ill say bye for now.
                                                             All my Love,

"Love is patient; love is always kind; love is never envious or arrogant wit...
