Hello darling;

     Thanks so much for the letter which I eagerly awaited. Your mail surely brings me untold pleasure. It makes me feel so pleased. Especially today when I was told I cannot go home over the week end. Gee did I feel blue! Then came your sweetness and that cheered me up plenty. Tonight I feel rather sad again. I seem to get the worst breaks. I did not go home last sunday either. Now I am promised I can go home next sunday so again I am looking forward to it very much. And on saturday I would like to have you, with me, to see Rose Marie at the Shubert. That's the reason why I'm writing so soon after receipt of your letter. It's a musical with lovely lyric and I'm sure you will enjoy it. Will you grant me the pleasure of taking you. Well you answer that by mail as soon as you can, because I want to write home to have my brother go in and get me the seats. I'm praying you don't refuse my invitation.

I have so few pleasant things to look forward to now. Last friday was out last day of basic training. Now I am a solider and a poor one at that! Tuesday we were notified as to what section we were chosen to be assigned to. I'm in the instrument section of special detail. In that case I won't be firing any more cannons. My job will be to locate the target and phone the locations and set the instruments so they will hit what they're aiming at. I guess the work will be very interesting. Again something new for me. I guess the reason you didn't go to see Mae two weeks ago with Dolly was that it was my weekend home and my dad stayed with me all day. That's evidently the reason why that plan never materialized. May you have better luck the next time. That was my fault although very unintentional. I wouldn't do that to you my sweet. Very glad to see you enjoy horse back riding. But don't turn out to be a horse thief. By all means send me your picture. I'd like a bigger one to keep in front of me to keep me smiling. If you have a nice one - - - please dear. Well my space is too short to say anymore honey so I'll be saying - bon-soir and write to let me know what I asked you for next saturday. Love

Regards to all 

Charlie
